An intriguing, facile, and efficient oxidation and cyclization of alkynes catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 in a fluorous biphasic system of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) and perfluorodecalin directly with molecular oxygen is described, which opens an efficient access to tetrasubstituted furans. Under the optimized conditions, intermolecular reaction between diverse alkynes provides the corresponding mixture of regioisomers with appreciable selectivity. Intramolecular oxidation and cyclization of alkynes are also successfully demonstrated. The reaction proceeds efficiently under mild conditions with atmospheric oxygen as the sole oxidant.

The development of a new method for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted furans using aromatic alkynes is reported. The strategy involves a tandem process of palladium-catalyzed oxidation and Zn(OTf)2-catalyzed cyclization in the presence of molecular oxygen.
A novel efficient tandem cyclization–methoxylation reaction has been developed to synthesize cyclopentadienyl alkyl ethers via palladium-catalyzed trimerization of diarylethynes and elimination of one dimethoxymethyl benzene molecule. The reaction mechanism was investigated by the Q-Tof APCI-HRMS technique, and the fluorescent properties of the obtained compounds were studied in the solid state and in solution.

SuzukiâMiyaura reactions of 2,3,4,5-tetrabromofuran allow a convenient and site-selective synthesis of mono-, di- and tetraarylfurans which are not readily available by other methods.
3-Thiophene- and 3-furancarboxylic acids efficiently undergo perarylation accompanied by cleavage of the three C-H bonds and decarboxylation upon treatment with excess aryl bromides in the presence of a palladium catalyst to give the corresponding tetraarylated products in good yields.
