The 2-oxacyclic α,β-unsaturated carbene complex 1 reacts with an excess of dimethylamine to give the diphenylbifuran 2.The structure of 2 was established by independent synthesis from 2-phenylfuran (4) via regioselective lithiation and transmetalation to zinc and tin organometallics 6a-c and final oxidative copper coupling reactions. - Key Words: Carbene ligands/ Tungsten complexes/ 2,2'-Bifuran/ Copper coupling reaction
