Description

A new and general one-pot reaction sequence initiated by singlet oxygen that transforms simple furan substrates into complex nitrogen-bearing aromatic polycycles having all the structural features of a number of important natural products is reported. The reaction sequence itself uses mild conditions and has wide functional group tolerance.
