Abstract

A wide variety of 3-alkyne-1, 2-diols have been found to undergo exceptionally clean 5-endo- dig cyclisations followed by dehydration at ambient temperature to give the corresponding furans in essentially quantitative yields when exposed to 10mol% of 10% w/w silver (I) nitrate absorbed on silica gel.
