title: A novel cyclization reaction between 2,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)buta-1,3-diene and acyl chlorides with straightforward formation of polysubstituted furans.
abstract: A novel cyclization process of 2,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)buta-1,3-diene with various acyl chlorides in the presence of aluminium trichloride affords 2,5-disubstituted or 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans in short reaction time; a subsequent acylation process of the furan ring occurs if the reaction time is prolonged.
