摘要

3, 4-Dihydroxy-5-alkynylcarboxylic acids, readily obtained by the addition of lithium acetylides to α-acetoxysuccinic anhydride followed by reduction and hydrolysis, undergo smooth silver (I)-catalysed 5-endo-dig cyclisations and in situ dehydration to give excellent overall yields of 5-substituted-2-furylacetic acids, including the natural metabolite plakorsin B.
