Abstract

We report herein copper(II)-catalyzed cyclization reactions of silyl enol ethers derived from methyl ketones with α-diazo-β-ketoesters or α-diazoketones to afford 2-siloxy-2,3-dihydrofuran derivatives or 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans, respectively, under mild conditions. The former cyclization products serve as versatile 1,4-diketone surrogates, allowing facile preparation of 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans, pyrroles, and thiophenes.
