AI Technical Summary
Existing synthetic methods for furanone compounds require the use of metals and ligands, are subject to harsh conditions, have a narrow substrate range, and are difficult to efficiently prepare 5-acylated 2-pyridinone compounds.
Furan-3(2H)-ketone compounds were constructed from diazonium ketones and diazonium esters in a single reaction under visible light. The reaction used readily available solvents and mild reaction conditions, avoiding the use of catalysts.
The efficient, economical, and diversified synthesis of furan-3(2H)-ketone compounds has been achieved, exhibiting good functional group tolerance and substrate universality, and is suitable for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and natural products.
