Highly substituted furans are generated by a cascade of formal anti-carbopalladation, attack of a nucleophilic hydroxy group, and aromatization by elimination of the emerging dihydrofuran derivative. Mono-, di-, and trisubstituted furans were obtained in good to excellent yields. When we attempted to access tetrasubstituted furan derivatives, an additional rearrangement was observed that resulted in the formation of chromenes. Follow-up chemistry shows the utility of TMS as a protecting group for the alkyne moiety.

Ynolates were found to react with α-alkoxy-, α-siloxy-, and α -aryloxyketones at room temperature to afford tetrasubstituted olefins with high Z selectivity. Since the geometrical selectivity was determined in the ring opening of the β-lactone enolate intermediates, the torquoselectivity was controlled by the ethereal oxygen atoms. From experimental and theoretical studies, the high Z selectivity is in duced by orbital and steric interactions rather than by chelation. In a similar manner, α-dialkylamino ketones provided olefins with excellent Z selectivity. These products can be easily converted into multisubstituted butenolides and γ-butyrolactams in good yield.
