Abstract

Furans, one of the most important classes of five-membered heterocyclic compounds, can be found as key structural units in many natural products and diverse therapeutic agents.(1) They are also served as useful intermediates in synthetic chemistry.(2) Accordingly, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of versatile methods for constructing this heteroaromatic core.(3) Apart from the classical cyclocondensation of dicarbonyl compounds, strategies ...
