TY - JOUR AU - Albrecht, Łukasz AB - A dearomative formal (4+2)‐cycloaddition reaction between 2‐substituted 3‐furaldehydes derivatives and isatins or α,α,α‐trifluoroacetophenones as electrophiles has been established under NHC‐catalysis. This approach utilizes the process of hydrogen chloride 1,4‐elimination leading to a highly reactive NHC‐bound heterocyclic o‐QDM intermediates derived from 3‐furaldehydes, which play a key role in the process. By using this strategy, a series of structurally diverse 6,7‐dihydro‐4H‐furo[3,2‐c]pyran‐4‐ones was prepared in 41–85% yields. In addition, the potential of the obtained (4+2)‐cycloadducts has been confirmed in the synthesis of interesting class of spirooxindole derivative containing 6,7‐dihydro‐4H‐furo[3,2‐c]pyran scaffold.
