title: Copper-mediated tandem reaction of β-ketoesters/ketones with tertiary amines for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydrofurans.
abstract: A copper-mediated tandem reaction of β-ketoesters/ketones with tertiary amines was achieved, which provides a simple and efficient approach to the synthesis of 2,3-dihydrofuran derivatives. In this tandem reaction, the tertiary amine not only offers the methylene moiety but also serves as the base.
