A general and efficient synthesis of indeno[1,2]furans via a Pd-catalyzed bicyclization reaction between 2-alkynyliodobenzenes and propargylic alcohols is described. The procedure furnishes indeno[1,2]furans with moderate to excellent yields (51%鈥?8%) and a broad substrate scope. The cascade process combines the formation of one C鈥揙 bond and two C鈥揅 bonds in a single step.
