125. The initial results for the synthesis of 2,3-dicyanofurans has been filed as Chinese patent application with limited substrate scope: Deng, W.-P.; Wang, Z.-L.; Zhang, Z.-G.; Li, H.-C. CN 102516210 A, 2012.
126. One example has been reported on the formation of 2,3-dicyanofuran as byproduct in 8% yield in the presence of DDQ: Barrett, A. G. M.; Blaney, F.; Campbell, A. D.; Hamprecht, D.; Meyer, T.; White, A. J. P.; Witty, D.; Williams, D. J. J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 2735
127. An example of similar reaction but with very limited substrates scope from other group was just reported after our patent application: Li, J.-S.; Xue, Y.; Li, Z.-W.; Liu, W.-D.; Lu, C.-H.; Zhao, P.-X. Synlett 2013, 24, 2003
