A novel reaction for the synthesis of 2-acyl furans is reported. The reaction is believed to proceed by sequential addition of a trialkylphosphine to an ynenone, 5-exo-dig cyclization to form the furan, and oxidation of the resulting phosphonium ylide with molecular oxygen. Many common functional groups are tolerated during the reaction, and the products are obtained in good to excellent yield under

Top cat! Tetrahydrothiophene is an efficient organocatalyst for the synthesis of highlysubstitutedfurfuryl products from readily accessible electron‐poor enynes under neutral reaction conditions. This process is applicable to a wide range of nucleophiles and enynes and can be used in a domino organocatalysis sequence.
