Electronically modified amine substituted alkynols for regio-selective synthesis of dihydrofuran derivatives

Abstract

An efficient and simple approach has been developed for the regio-selective synthesis of iodo-substituted dihydrofurans from amine substituted alkynols. The resulting iodo-substituted dihydrofurans have been further diversified by C–C couplings and C–N coupling reactions to afford a diverse range of substituted dihydrofuran derivatives.
