Abstract
5‐endo‐dig cyclisations of 3‐alkyne‐1,2‐diols using iodine as the electrophile proceed smoothly to deliver excellent yields of the corresponding β‐iodofurans. The necessary precursors are available from a number of different approaches, notably regioselective bis‐hydroxylation of conjugated enynes and the addition of acetylides to α‐hydroxy carbonyl groups. The initial iodofurans can be homologated using a number of strategies, ranging from various transition metal‐catalysed couplings to halogen–metal exchange and subsequent coupling with an electrophile. Hence, this method overall represents a flexible, relatively brief and very efficient approach to a variety of highly substituted furans. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
