Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between benzyl, aryl, or allyl bromides and conjugated ene-yne-ketones lead to the formation of 2-alkenyl-substituted furans. This novel coupling reaction involves oxidative addition, alkyne activation-cyclization, palladium carbene migratory insertion, β-hydride elimination, and catalyst regeneration. Palladium (2-furyl)carbene is proposed as the key intermediate, which is supported by DFT calculations. The palladium carbene character of the key intermediate is validated by three aspects, including bond lengths, Wiberg bond order indices, and molecular orbitals, by comparison to those reported for stable palladium carbene species. Computational studies also revealed that the rate-limiting step is ene-yne-ketone cyclization, which leads to the formation of the palladium (2-furyl)carbene, while the subsequent carbene migratory insertion is a facile process with a low energy barrier (5 kcal/mol).

The reaction of Β-ethynyl α,β-unsaturated esters or amides with Cr(CO)5(L) (L = Et2O, THF), derived from chromium hexacarbonyl, gives 2-pyranylidene-chromium complexes in good yields. The conjugated ene-carbonyl-vinylidene complex is a key intermediate to these Fischer-type oxacarbene complexes. In contrast, β-ethynyl α,β-unsaturated ketones react with Cr(CO)5(THF) to give (2-furyl)carbene complexes via nucleophilic attack of the carbonyl oxygen atom to the intermediate π-alkyne-chromium complexes. Some chemical transformation, such as [4 + 2] type cyclization of 2-pyranylidene complexes with alkynes and aldehyde formation from (2-furyl)carbene complexes, has also been described.
