Furans and pyrroles are important synthons in chemical synthesis and are commonly found in natural products, pharmaceutical agents, and materials. Introduced herein are three methods to prepare 2-substituted 3-furfurals starting from 3-furfural, 3-bromofuran, and 3-vinylfurans. Addition of a variety of

Diels-Alder addition of furans (furan, furfuryl alcohol, and 3-bromofuran) to maelic anhydride yields three distinct 5,6-dehydronorcantharidins. Hydrogenation of (4,10-dioxatricyclo[5.2.1.0]decane-3,5-dione) (4a), in dry ethanol affords the monoester (7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic aid monoethyl ester) (6). Subsequent transesterification affords a series of monoesters (7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid
