Abstract

An optimized procedure for the direct and regioselective arylation of 2-acylfurans has been developed. The versatility of this protocol has been evaluated on a series of aryl and heteroaryl halides, thus obtaining a small collection of 2,5-disubstituted furans in moderate to good yields. Finally, the optimized protocol has been successfully applied to the synthesis of the HIV-1 integrase inhibitor 3 and could be further exploited for the generation of novel substituted furans as potential integrase inhibitors.
