Isocyanide-based three-component synthesis of functionalized 5-alkylimino-2,5-dihydrofuran-3,4-dicarboxylate and their conversion to substituted furanones
bromides to form 5‐alkylimino‐2,5‐dihydrofuran‐3,4‐dicarboxylate in relatively good yields at room temperature under solventless conditions. Hydrolysis of these compounds by HCl (5%) produced substitutedfuranones. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).
