“…The Zhu group developed an intramolecular domino process to synthesize α‐furanyl ketones 75 , involving furyl metal carbene formation and semi‐pinacol rearrangement, using conjugated enynals 74 (Scheme 28). [42] Using Pd(CH 3 CN) 2 Cl 2 or PtCl 2 , the alkyne moiety in hydroxymethyl tethered enynal 74 is activated, followed by intramolecular 5‐exo‐dig cyclization to form furyl metal carbene I . A subsequent semi‐pinacol rearrangement generates zwitterionic intermediate II , which undergoes proto‐demetalation to yield product 75 .…”

Enynones and enynals represent donor‐type carbene precursors that efficiently form furyl metal carbenes via a catalytic intramolecular 5‐exo‐dig cyclization and rearrangement cascade, in a 100% atom‐economical manner, using various metals. These furyl metal carbenes have been successfully utilized in numerous carbene reactions, including metal carbene X–H insertion, cyclopropanations, metathesis, and cross‐coupling, demonstrating a broad reaction scope and efficiency in constructing highly functionalized furans. Recent years have witnessed significant advancements in transformations involving furyl metal carbenes, especially in asymmetric carbene insertion reactions, domino reactions involving zwitterionic intermediates, various rearrangement strategies, and their application in synthesizing functional materials and drug candidates. In this review, we summarize recent progress in furyl metal carbene reactions generated from enynones and enynals, focusing on the synthesis of highly functionalized furans.

Tuning the photophysical properties of π-conjugated oligomers by functionalization of skeleton, to achieve an optically and electronically advantageous building block for organic semiconductor materials is a vital yet challenging task. In this work, a series of structurally well-defined polyarylfunctionalized α-oligofurans, in which aryl groups are introduced precisely into each of the furan units, are rapidly and efficiently synthesized by de novo metal-free synthesis of αbi(arylfuran) monomers for the first time. This new synthetic strategy nicely circumvents the cumbersome substituent introduction process in the later stage by the preinstallation of the desired aryl groups in the starting material. The characterization of α-oligo(arylfuran)s demonstrates that photoelectric properties of coplanar α-oligo(arylfuran)s can be tuned through varying aryl groups with different electrical properties. These novel α-oligo(arylfuran)s have good hole transport capacity and can function as hole-transporting layers in organic light-emitting diodes, which is indicative of significant breakthrough in the application of α-oligofurans materials in OLEDs. And our findings offer an avenue for the ingenious use of α-oligo(arylfuran)s as p-type organic semiconductors for OLEDs.
