HFIP-assisted Br & #xf8;nsted acid catalysed synthesis of furan derivatives

Bonnie Pu, Thanh Vinh Nguyen This work describes the development of a new non‐metal Brønsted acid catalytic method for the synthesis of 2‐aryl‐3‐carboxylate ester furans and 2,3‐diaryl furans from ynone substrates. The method was shown to be efficient under very mild reaction conditions with up to 94% product yields.
