From Tetronic Acid and Furfural to C(4)-Halogenated, Vinylated and Formylated Furan-2(5H)-ones and Their 5-Alkoxy Derivatives

Abstract

Tetronic acid and furfural have been elaborated into the title compounds. Palladium-catalyzed cross coupling with vinylstannanes and controlled ozonolysis followed by anhydrous workup are key reactions.
