Abstract

A novel and convenient two-step synthesis of ‘reversed’ diamidino 2,5-aryl- and 2,5-azaheterocycle-substituted furans is described. The key step, a Stille cross-coupling reaction between N-(bromoaryl)arenecarboxamidines and 2,5-bis(tri-n-butylstannyl)furan, is reported for the first time.
