Abstract

A facile and efficient protocol for the synthesis of 4,5-dihydrofuran derivatives via iodine-mediated cyclization of various 2-(2',3'-allenyl) acetylacetates with CaH 2 as the base has been developed. The yields range from moderate to good. The resulting products can be used for further elaboration by palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions.
