title: Sequential rhodium-catalyzed stereo- and regioselective addition of organoboron derivatives to the alkyl 4-hydroxy-2-alkynoates/lactonizaction reaction.
abstract: The sequential rhodium-catalyzed addition/lactonization reaction of organoboron derivatives to alkyl 4-hydroxy-2-alkynoates would constitute a novel methodology for the synthesis of 4-aryl/heteroaryl/vinyl-2(5H)-furanones with an excellent control of the regio- and chemoselectivity. The role played by rhodium precatalyst, ligands, reaction medium, and the feature of organoboron derivatives has been explored.
