title: 5-Formyl-2-furylboronic acid as a versatile bifunctional reagent for the synthesis of pi-extended heteroarylfuran systems.
abstract: 5-Formyl-2-furylboronic acid reacts cleanly with a range of heteroaryl bromides under Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling conditions to produce 2-formyl-5-heteroarylfuran derivatives. Subsequent Wittig olefination reactions afford pi-conjugated alkene-pyridyl-furan derivatives.
