title: A convenient preparation of 3-substituted furans: synthesis of perillene and dendrolasin.
abstract: A variety of 3-substituted furans, including the natural products perillene and dendrolasin, are obtained in good yield via reductive annulation of 1,1,1-trichloroethyl propargyl ethers using catalytic Cr(II) regenerated by Mn/TMSCl. [reaction: see text]
