ABSTRACT

Highly functionalized furans are the key scaffolds of many pharmaceuticals and bioactive natural products. Herein, we disclose a new fruitful synthesis of polyfunctionalized furans starting from β-nitroenones and α-functionalized ketones. The protocol involves two steps promoted by solid supported species, and it provides the title targets from satisfactory to very good overall yields and in an excellent diastereomeric ratios.
