                                    As a versatile building block, 3,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)furan (1), conveniently obtained through a Diels-Alder reaction between 4-phenyloxazole and bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene, was able to undergo Diels-Alder cycloadditions with dienophiles. In two separate experiments, extrusion of bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene occurred when 1 was treated with acetylenic dienophiles. Furan 1 was also found to undergo Friedel-Crafts acylations at the unsubstituted alpha-position in general and gave a pair of regioisomers. Moreover, 1 was converted regiospecifically to various 3,4-disubstituted furans, utilizing consecutively and repeatedly an ipso displacement of the trimethylsilyl group with boron trichloride and a novel palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-type coupling reaction of the resulting boroxines.
