Abstract

An efficient dual synthetic manifold for 2-aminofurans and 2-unsubstituted furans has been developed. The carbenoid-mediated [3+ 2] cycloaddition of copper carbenoids with enamines provides 2-amino-2, 3-dihydrofurans which serve as common intermediates for both 2-aminofurans and 2-unsubstituted furans.
