Abstract

Kimihiro Komeyama,* Yuuki Ohama, and Ken Takaki* Department of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering, Hiroshima University, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8527 ... (Received July 25, 2011; CL-110623; E-mail: kkome@hiroshima-u.ac.jp) ... Bi(OTf)3 was found to be an effective catalyst for a tandem condensation/cyclization of acyloins and ¢-diketones or ¢-keto esters to afford highly substituted furans in good yields. ... Furan skeletons are prevalent ...
