Abstract

A convenient and efficient method for the synthesis of 3-halofurans was developed by using a cascade reaction between 1-(1-alkynyl)cyclopropyl ketones and cupric halide. Under mild reaction conditions, both 3-chloro- and 3-bromofuran derivatives were obtained in high yields. The reaction involves consecutive multiple bond formations, includingC–O and C–Br bonds, with high regioselectivity. Mechanistic aspects are described.
