Abstract
Furan-2-acetic esters are obtained in good yields by direct oxidative cyclization-alkoxycarbonylation of (Z)-2-en-1-yn-1-ols. bearing both a n alkyl or an aryl substituent alpha to the hydroxy group, in the pres ence of catalytic amounts of palladium iodide in conjunction with pota ssium iodide at 50-70 degrees C and 100 atm of a 9:1 mixture of carbon monoxide and air.
