By using biphenyl-2-ylphosphines functionalized with a remote tertiary amino group as ligand, readily available acetylenic amides are directly converted into 2-aminofurans devoid of any electron-withdrawing and hence deactivating/stabilizing substituents. These highly electron-rich furans have rarely been prepared, let alone being applied in synthesis, due to the high reactivities and low stabilities associated with their exceedingly electron-rich nature of the furan ring. In this work, these reactive furans undergo smoothly in-situ intermolecular Diels-Alder reactions to deliver highly functionalized/substituted aniline products or intramolecular ones to furnish carbazole-4-carboxylates in mostly good to excellent yields. This work offers a general and expedient access to this class of rarely studies electron-rich furans and shall open exciting opportunities for their applications. Graphical Abstract What a ligand. With bifunctional ligands specifically designed for gold catalysis, acetylenic amides are transformed into 2-aminofurans in a single step efficiently. The highly electron-rich nature of these furans bestows them exceptional synthetic values but difficult to access in other means. zhang@chem.ucsb.edu, Website: https://labs.chem.ucsb.edu/zhang/liming/. †These authors contributed equally Supporting information for this article is given via a link at the end of the document.
