Abstract

A series of acetylenic furan derivatives have been synthesized via Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions of 2-(alkyltelluro) furan with several terminal alkynes. These compounds showed good anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenin-induced rat paw edema assay. This represents a new and efficient method for the synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds.
