We have realized a Pd-catalyzed ring-opening of diazabicyclic olefins with 4-halo-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. This reaction resulted in the formation of 3(2H)-furanone-appended hydrazino cyclopentenes. The reaction proceeds ...

The present review describes the methods reported for the synthesis of 3(2H)-furanones. This heterocycle forms the core structure of a number of natural products and biologically active scaffolds. We have covered all ...
