Primary iodides alkylate 2-trimethylsiloxyfuran in the presence of a molar excess of silver trifluoroacetate to give the 4-alkylbut-2-en-4-olides in 55-81percent yield; as an illustration of the method, the cytotoxic marine sponge constituent, 4-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)but-2-en-4-olide was prepared in 79percent yield in one step.
