In the presence of Hunig's base and anhydrous magnesium chloride, benzoylacetonitrile (1) reacts with 2-haloketones and -esters to give C-alkylated products which may cyclize to polysubstituted furans whereas with acid chlorides O-acylated products are obtained as separable mixtures of E and Z isomers.
