Photochemical alkene isomerization for the synthesis of polysubstituted furans and pyrroles under neutral conditions

A photochemical approach to polysubstituted heterocycles using UV‐induced alkene isomerization is described. The method allows for the synthesis of disubstituted furans and pyrroles under mild and neutral conditions and also provides access to a class of trisubstituted furans pertinent to natural‐pr...

description A photochemical approach to polysubstituted heterocycles using UV‐induced alkene isomerization is described. The method allows for the synthesis of disubstituted furans and pyrroles under mild and neutral conditions and also provides access to a class of trisubstituted furans pertinent to natural‐product synthesis. The method has broad functional‐group tolerance and many richly decorated heterocycles have been prepared incorporating functional groups that are unstable under Brønsted and Lewis acidic conditions.
