An efficient one-pot synthesis and biological evaluation of novel (E)-2-aroyl-4-arylidene-5-oxotetrahydrofuran derivatives:

An efficient one-pot base-mediated approach to (E)-2-aroyl-4-arylidene-5-oxotetrahydro-furans is developed. Nine (E)-2-aroyl-4-arylidene-5-oxotetrahydrofurans are synthesized in good yields via tan...
