Halonium-initiated electrophilic cascades of 1-alkenoylcyclopropane carboxamides: efficient access to dihydrofuropyridinones and 3(2H)-furanones

Halonium-initiated cascade reaction of 1-alkenoylcyclopropane carboxamides was developed, which leads to the production of dihydrofuropyridinones and 3(2H)-furanones, respectively, depending on the property of substituents on the enone moiety.
