Abstract
A [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement under Brønsted base catalysis enables an efficient synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted-3-iodofurans via a formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition of an in situ generated α-oxygenated propargyl anion to an aldehyde and a subsequent intramolecular cyclization mediated by N-iodosuccinimide. The method provides access to a wide range of tetrasubstituted furans.
