A Sequential Synthesis of Substituted Furans from Aryl Alkynes and Ketones Involving a Cerium(IV) Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)-Mediated Oxidative Cyclization. -Starting ,-unsaturated ketones are prepared according to prior work. In a few cases, site-selective ring bromination occurs during oxidative cyclization, e. g. in compounds (IX), (XI), and (XIII). -(UNDEELA, S.; RAMCHANDRA, J. P.; MENON*, R.
