Abstract

Abstract Image

Several di- and triarylfuran derivatives were prepared in high yields from but-2-ene-1,4-diones/but-2-yne-1,4-diones using formic acid in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium on carbon and in poly(ethylene glycol)-200 medium in a one-pot operation under microwave irradiation (1−5 min).
