  abstract  = {Butenolides, obtained by ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of acrylates, undergo quantitative deprotonation with amide bases. Trapping of the resulting anions with electrophiles, for example, chlorophosphates, give furans. Subsequent DielsAlder reaction and acid-catalysed rearrangement of the resulting oxabicyclonorbornadienes give substituted benzenes.},

  abstract  = {2,5-Disubstituted furans were synthesized by one-flask Heck arylation/oxidation sequences. The starting materials are 2-substituted 2,3-dihydrofurans, conveniently available by RCM/isomerization sequences, and arenediazonium salts. These react in ligand-free Heck reactions to afford 2,5-disub-stituted 2,5-dihydrofurans, which are oxidized to the corresponding furans without isolation or intermediate workup. The oxidation is conveniently achieved with chloranil or DDQ, depending on the substrate.},
