carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides has been developed. The reaction enabled efficient access to a
range of N‐heterocycle‐fused furans, such as secondary hydroxyl and the structural parts of
drug/bioactive compounds. A unique triple‐role of α‐carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides and a
characteristic stereo‐electronic functional behavior of the arylidene N‐fused imidazolones
have been explored.
