Interrupted Furan-Yne Cyclization: Access to Unsaturated Dicarbonyl Compounds and Their Subsequent Transformation into Functionalized Pyridazines.

The key carbenoid intermediate of transition-metal-catalyzed furan-yne cyclization in Hashmi phenol synthesis could be efficiently intercepted with water under the developed reaction conditions in order to provide access to functionalized unsaturated dicarbonyl compounds that might serve as convenient precursors for the straightforward synthesis of annulated pyridazines.
