A straightforward strategy for synthesis of highly functionalized trifluoromethyl 2H-furans is described. The copper catalyzed method relies on a cascade cyclic reaction between enaminones and N-tosylhydrazones. This method allows the synthesis of 2-amino-3-trifluoromethyl-substituted 2H-furan deriv...
