Tetrasubstituted furans are prepared by a three-step synthesis including condensation of a fluorous benzaldehyde with an acetophenone followed by Michael-type [3+2] cycloaddition with an 1,3-diketone and Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction for fluorous linker cleavage. The reactions are performed under microwave irradiation and the intermediate purifications are facilitated by fluorous solid-phase extraction (F-SPE).
