Palladium-Catalyzed C–S Bond Cleavage with Allenoates: Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted 2‑Alkenylfuran Derivatives

Palladium-catalyzed C–S cleavage of tetrasubstituted internal alkene α-oxo ketene dithioacetals was realized with allenoates as the coupling partners, efficiently affording tetrasubstituted 2-alkenylfuran derivatives with excellent regioselectivity under mild conditions. Allenoates acted as C1 synthons in the desulfurative [4 + 1] annulation.
