title: Singlet-oxygen-mediated one-pot synthesis of 3-keto-tetrahydrofurans from 2-(beta-hydroxyalkyl) furans.
abstract: Photooxygenation of 2-(beta-hydroxyalkyl) furans affords, in one synthetic operation and in high yields, 3-keto-tetrhydrofuran motifs via intramolecular Michael-type addition to the 1,4-enedione intermediate.
