Abstract
The synthesis of densely functionalized trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted furans via a novel Ru(II)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of vinyl diazoesters is reported. The synthetic utility of these furans is further demonstrated through a simple acid-mediated reaction to access highly substituted δalpha;,β-butenolides.
