Substituted pyrans and furans are core structures found in a wide variety of natural products and biologically active compounds. Herein, we report a practical and mild catalytic method for the synthesis of substituted pyrans and furans using molecular iodine, a simple and inexpensive catalyst. The method described is performed under solvent-free conditions at an ambient temperature and atmosphere, thus offering a facile and practical alternative to currently available reaction protocols. A combination of experimental studies and density functional theory calculations revealed interesting mechanistic insights into this seemingly simple reaction.

5-iodoalkyl-4,5-dihydrofurans 2, 5-alkylidene-4,5-dihydrofurans 3 and 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans 4 are obtained through a simple sequence, involving, in the key-step, a regio- and stereoselective iodoenoletherification of 2-alkenyl substituted 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds 1.
