Abstract

Abstract An intriguing, facile, and efficient oxidation and cyclization of alkynes catalyzed by Pd (OAc) 2 in a fluorous biphasic system of N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) and perfluorodecalin directly with molecular oxygen is described, which opens an efficient access to tetrasubstituted furans. Under the optimized conditions, intermolecular reaction between diverse alkynes provides the corresponding mixture of regioisomers with ...
