Step in time : 2,5‐Disubstituted furans can be prepared from terminal alkynes in one pot using two successive catalytic reactions (see scheme; p ‐TSA= para ‐toluenesulfonic acid). First, a 1,3‐dienyl alkyl ether is produced by the dimerization of a terminal alkyne and addition of an alcohol catalyzed by [RuCp*(NCMe) 3 ][PF 6 ]. Then, consecutive hydrolysis and cyclization catalyzed by CuCl 2 provides the 2,5‐disubstituted furan.
