Abstract

Abstract Image

5-Endo-dig electrophilic cyclization of 1,4-diaryl but-3-yn-1-ones with N-bromosuccinimide or N-iodosuccinimide/acetone and iodine monochloride/CH2Cl2, at room temperature, in the absence of base, provides 3-halo-2,5-diarylfurans with excellent regiocontrol and high yields (81−94%).
