Abstract

Abstract A novel method for the Ru II-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of highly functionalized furans from readily available cyclic and acyclic diazodicarbonyl compounds and terminal alkynes is described. The devised protocol offers a straightforward means to the construction of a variety of diverse furan derivatives through powerful cascade processes, including the formation of ruthenium carbenoid, cyclopropenation, ring- ...
