Borane catalysed ring opening and closing cascades of furans leading to silicon functionalized synthetic intermediates
Furans are attractive staring materials in organic chemistry, due to the ease of functionalisation and sourcing from renewable feedstocks. Here the authors show the ring opening of furans to silane intermediates, followed by further conversion to cyclopropanes and other high value targets.
