Abstract

An intramolecular tandem rearrangement for the synthesis of bicyclic furans is reported. The reaction was initiated by an intramolecular cross-coupling of the built-in alkynyl sulfoxide and alkynyl sulfide motifs in the presence of BF3·Et2O, followed by a [3,3]-sigmatropic sulfonium rearrangement and 5-exo-dig cyclization, affording cycloalkano[c]furans as final products in moderate yields with 100% atom economy. The synthetic utility of the resulting furans has been demonstrated through late-stage diversification by utilizing the alkylthio groups or the furan rings.
