Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)60930-9

3- and 4-trialkylstannylfuranones (2) and (3) have been prepared by an interesting desulphurative stannylation reaction; 3- and 4-substituted 2-(5H)-Furanones (12) and (13) may be prepared via palladium-catalysed cross coupling of (2) and (3) with aryl iodides.
