Alkyne-1,4-diols are readily available substrates which are isomerised to 1,4-diketones using Ru(PPh3)3(CO)H2/xantphos as a catalyst. In situ cyclisation into furans, pyrroles and pyridazines has been achieved under suitable conditions.

1,4-Alkynediols serve as readily available starting materials for isomerisation to 1,4-diketones, which can be converted in situ into the corresponding furans by acid-catalysed dehydration. A range of 2,5-disubstituted furans was prepared using the ruthenium-based catalyst Ru(PPh3)3(CO)H2 with Xantphos at 1 mol % loading.

Various 1,2,5-substituted pyrroles have been synthesised from 1,4-alkynediols using a ruthenium catalysed isomerisation to give the corresponding 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds, which undergo in situ cyclisation to pyrroles in the presence of amine.

Electrochemical methoxylation of 2-phenylfuran (I) and 2-(4-nitrophenyl)furan (VI) proceeded anomalously, affording 5-methoxy-2-phenylfuran (XI) and 5-methoxy-2-(4-nitrophenyl)furan (XIII), respectively. 2-Phenyl-5-methylfuran (II) and methyl-2-(2-methylphenyl)-3-furoate (VIII) behaved normally giving the respective 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran derivatives XII and XIV.The suggested ECNECB mechanism of the anomalous methoxylation was confirmed by methoxylation of compound II, in which the methyl group hinders the last CB step, and also of compound VIII in whichthe aromaticity is suppresed by forced deviation from planarity.Forced deviation from planarity was moreover studied also on 2-(4-methylphenyl)furan (III), 5-methyl-2-(2-methylphenyl)furan (IV) and 3,5-dimethyl-2-(2-methylphenyl)furan (V) as model compounds.For all the derivatives the INDO charges were calculated and correlated with the 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra.The experimental electronic spectra were correlated with the theoretical ones (INDO-S-CI).All results obtained confirm the suggested mechanism.
