We hereby report the first preparation of the 5,6‐dihydro‐4 H ‐furo[2,3‐ c ]pyrrol‐4‐one ( 3 ) and its derivatives starting from methyl 3‐(methoxycarbonyl)furan‐2‐acetate ( 8 ). The ester functionality connected to the methylene group was regiospecifically converted to the desired monohydrazide 9 . Conversion of 9 into the acyl azide 10 followed by Curtius rearrangement gave the corresponding isocyanate derivative 11 ( Scheme 2 ). Reaction of 11 with different nucleophiles produced urethane and urea derivatives ( Scheme 3 ). Intramolecular cyclization reactions provided the target compounds ( Scheme 5 ). Removal of the amine‐protecting group formed the title compound 3 .
