Abstract
A series of acetylenic furan derivatives have been synthesized via Pd-catal yzed coupling reactions of 2-(alkyltel-luro)furan with several terminal alk ynes. These compounds showed good anti-inflammatory activity in the carrage enin-induced rat paw edema assay. This represents a new and efficient metho d for the synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds. (C) 2001 Elsevie r Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
