Abstract alpha,beta-Unsaturated acetylenic -hydroxyketones have been shown to react with ethyl acetoacetate in a Michael-addition fashion and subsequently undergo cyclization followed by dehydration to give substituted furans with a predictable regiospecificity. The yields were good to excellent. A mechanism for the transformation is proposed, and this mechanism explains why furan formation does not take place when the same unsaturated ketones are treated with -methylated acetoacetate and diethyl malonate.
