中文摘要：

On treatment of N-tosylimines (1) and 4-hydroxyl-cis-butenyl arsonium salt (5) with KOH in acetonitrile at room temperature, 2-(a-substituted N-tosylaminomethyl)-2,5-dihydrofurans (4) were obtained in moderate yields. The arsonium salt (5) acts formally as an equivalent of 2,5-dihydrofuran synon. A plausible mechanism was proposed for this new 5-membered cyclization reaction.
