A 5‐ endo ‐ dig halocyclization of 2‐fluoroalk‐3‐yn‐1‐ones with the use of N ‐iodo‐ and N ‐bromosuccinimide, in the presence of gold chloride/zinc bromide (5:20 mol‐%, dichloromethane), under ambient conditions, provides a facile method for the synthesis of 2,5‐disubstituted 3‐bromo‐4‐fluoro‐ and3‐fluoro‐4‐iodofurans. The sequential procedure starts atmonofluorination of the alk‐1‐en‐3‐yn‐1‐yl silyl ethers with Selectfluor and proceeds with good overall yields (62–78 %).
