title: Synthesis of the Furan Nucleus Promoted by Ytterbium Triflate.
abstract: An efficient synthesis of differently substituted furans from acetylene dicarboxylates and β-dicarbonyl compounds is described. The furan nucleus was built by means of an Yb(OTf)3 catalyzed cycloaddition reaction yielding desired adducts in 91%-98% yield.
