title: Pd-catalyzed reaction of aryl halides and propargyl furylmethyl ethers: a novel pathway to functionalized dihydroisobenzofurans.
abstract: An interesting sequential reaction involving Sonogashira coupling, propargyl-allenyl isomerization, intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition, and bridged oxa-ring opening has been realized, providing a facile method for the synthesis of functionalized dihydroisobenzofurans from easily accessible starting materials with a decent diastereoselectivity.
