Abstract: The Diels-Alder reaction between some furan derivatives and
phenylsulfonylacetylene has been studied along the normal and "pincer"
pathways. In the same reaction conditions N-tosylpyrrole and
phenylsulfonylacetylene afford only the normal adduct. The ring opening of some
of the resulting products has been also examined.
