Abstract:
New efficient synthesis of medium- and large-sized ring substituted furans is achieved by 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with vinyl sulfides in the presence of Ag(2)CO(3)/Celite (Fétizon's reagent) in a one-pot procedure. The synthesized furans can be further converted to biologically interesting compounds such as dibenzofurans, coumestans, benzofuroquinolinone, and 4-pyrone.
