Diastereoselective Synthesis of Cyclopenta[c]furans by a Catalytic Multicomponent Reaction.

ABSTRACT: A diastereoselective three-component reaction between alkynyl enones, aldehydes and secondary amines is reported. With the aid of a benign indium catalyst, a range of highly substituted cyclopenta[c]furan derivatives can be obtained in a single-step procedure. The formation of the stereodefined heterocyclic motifs takes place via in situ generation of enamines followed by two sequential cyclization steps.
