title: The reaction of cyclic carbinol amides with triflic anhydride as a method to prepare alpha-trifluoromethyl-sulfonamido furans.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A novel synthesis of alpha-trifluoromethyl-sulfonamido furans via the reaction of cyclic carbinol amides with triflic anhydride has been developed. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions with a wide set of representative lactams to provide the alpha-trifluoromethyl-sulfonamido-substituted furan in high yield. Rapid access to a 5-substituted indoline can be achieved by thermolysis of the N-but-3-enyl-substituted sulfonamido furan.
