Fluorination of 1,4‐disubstituted tert ‐butyldimethylsilyl but‐1‐en‐3‐yn‐1‐yl ethers with Selectfluor gives 2‐ mono‐ fluorobut‐3‐yn‐1‐ones. Subsequent 5‐ endo ‐ dig cyclization in the presence of chlorotriphenylphosphine gold(I)/silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (both 5 mol%, dichloromethane) under ambient conditions, provides a facile method for the generation of mainly 2,5‐diaryl‐substituted 3‐fluorofurans in high yields (89–96%). The structure of 2‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐3‐fluoro‐5‐(4‐methylphenyl)furan was confirmed by X‐ray crystallography.
