Electrophilic cyclization of cyclopropylideneallenyl ketones in the presence of I2/CuI offers an efficient and straightforward route to highly substituted furans under mild reaction conditions. Further transformation of the resulting iodofurans provides structurally more advanced furanderivatives.
CuCl-catalyzed cyclization–dimerization reactions of 3-cyclopropylideneprop-2-en-1-ones provide an interesting route to benzofuran-7(3aH)-one derivatives with one highly strained three-membered ring and one four-membered ring via intramolecular cycloisomerization, sequential bimolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition, opening of the oxa-bridge, and ring contraction. Furthermore, the reaction was monitored by NMR experiments
