As heterogeneous catalysts and nanoparticle support materials, CNTs have attracted great interest in organic chemistry. This paper reports facile CuO/CNTs-catalyzed cyclization to form furan derivatives from electron-deficient alkynes and α-hydroxy ketones. It represents a facile synthetic route, and the eco-friendly catalyst can be easily separated by filtration and reused.

A straightforward, efficient, and reliable approach to synthetically valuable 2,3-dihydrofurans via a reaction between Corey ylide and α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed. The use of simple and widely spread starting materials as well as mild reaction conditions and scalability provide a broad scope of 2,3-dihydrofurans.
