Diastereoselective synthesis of functionalised trans-tetrahydrobenzofuran-4-ones in an aqueous medium by using DABCO as an efficient catalyst

A one-pot, efficient synthesis of 11 novel 2,3-diacylated trans-tetrahydrobenzofuran-4-one derivatives has been achieved via a three-component condensation of a N-(4-halophenacyl)-pyridinium bromid...
