Novel ruthenium-catalysed synthesis of furan derivatives via intramolecular cyclization of hydroxy enynes

Abstract
Furans containing a functional group at C(5) are obtained under neutral conditions by selective cyclization of (Z)-pent-2-en-4-yn-1-ols in the presence of RuCl2(PPh3)(p-cymene) as catalyst precursor.
