Abstract

A series of novel 5-arylidenefuran-2(5H)-ones and 5-arylidene-4-arylfuran-2(5H)-ones were synthesized via the Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of fimbrolide derivatives 5-(bromomethylene)furan-2(5H)-one and 4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)furan-2(5H)-one, respectively. A regioselective Suzuki–Miyaura reaction on 4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)furan-2(5H)-one allowed the synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted 5-arylidene-4-arylfuran-2(5H)-ones. The crystal structure of the intermediate 5-arylidene-4-bromofuran-2(5H)-one revealed interesting Br⋯O halogen bonding.
