3,4-Bis(tributylstannyl)furan: a versatile building block for the regiospecific synthesis of 3,4-disubstituted furans
Abstract
By utilising an oxazole–alkyne Diels–Alder reaction, 3,4-bis(tributylstannyl)furan is prepared and its synthetic potential assessed by its conversion into several 3,4-disubstituted furans via Stille-type palladium-catalysed reactions.
