Abstract

Abstract A convenient new method was developed to prepare unfused polyaromatic furan derivatives from diynyl-1, 6-diols through a novel base-catalyzed cascade 1, 3-H shift/cyclization process. Deuterium experiments were performed to determine that the 1, 3-H shift was the rate-determining step.
