An alkyne hydroacylation route to highly substituted furans.

More rings for your rhodium: Rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular alkyne hydroacylations deliver γ-hydroxy-α,β-enones, which can be cyclized in situ to deliver di-and trisubstituted furans. Functionalization of the intermediates using Heck chemistry allows the formation of regioisomeric furans. The use...
