Pseudoesters and derivatives. XXX. Synthesis of 5-substituted furan-2(5H)-ones by the regiospecific reaction of anions of enaminofuranones with electrophiles

Reactions of lithium enolates 2a,b derived from 5-methoxy(or 5-ethylthio)-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)- furan-2(5H)-ones (1a,b) with various electrophiles, such as alkylating agents, aldehydes, phenyl isocyanate, acyl chlorides, and trimethylsilyl chloride, occur regiospecifically to give the corresponding 5-substituted derivatives in synthetically useful yields. Reaction of 2a,b (a, Y = OMe, b, Y = SEt) with electrophiles (E = RX, RCHO, PhNCO, RCOCl, Me3SiCl) affords the 5-substituted derivative in a regiospecific manner.
