title: Highly functionalized and stereocontrolled syntheses of 2-(2-methylenecycloalkyl)-furan derivatives by Pd-catalyzed cycloreduction.
abstract: [structure: see text]. We have discovered a new method employing Pd-catalyzed cycloreduction of conjugated enynals 1 bearing an alkyne unit leading to the corresponding 2-(2-methylenecycloalkyl)-furans 2a-j and a related compound 7 in good to excellent yields.
