SYNTHESIS OF SUBSTITUTED 2,5-DIHYDRO-2,2'-BIFURANS

Abstract
A simple method for the synthesis of 2,4-diaryl-2,5-dihydro-2,2'-bifurans was developed based on the reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds containing a furan ring with trimethylsulfonium iodide under the conditions of the Corey–Chaykovsky reaction.
