In this study, novel furan substituted dihydrofuran compounds were synthesized by the radical addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to 1,1- and 1,2-disubstituted alkenes using manganese(III) acetate in HOAc. It is observed that 1,1-disubstituted alkenes gave better yields whereas 1,2-disubstituted alkenes gave moderate yields. Besides, 1,2-disubstituted alkenes gave us cis-isomers whereas trifluoromethylated 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 1,2-disubstituted alkenes gave us trans-isomers of dihydrofuran determined by NOSY spectra.
