Abstract
A new practical and economical process for the synthesis of substituted furan derivatives has been developed by an FeCl3-catalyzed reaction of α-hydroxy ketones with activated alkynes. This methodology represents a highly efficient synthetic route to electron-deficient furans for which catalytic approaches are scarce. Furthermore, this transformation is associated with readily available substrates, good yields, and mild conditions.
