• cyclization of readily available 4-alkynyl-3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazoles can be used as an efficient method to access many novel 2,5-disubstituted 2H-furo[2,3-c]pyrazoles.

• synthetic methods has been developed for the construction of carbon–heteroatom bonds using these types of catalysts. For example, the gold(I) catalyst [(Ph3PAu)3O]BF4 was applied in the regioselective intramolecular cyclization of alkynols to construct bicyclic ethers [37], while the silver(I) catalyst

• -pyrazoles. The desired 5-endo-dig cyclization leading to the formation of the 2H-furo[2,3-c]pyrazole ring system is easily achieved by heating the aforementioned hydroxyalkynyl substrates with a base in DMF in the presence of a silver(I) catalyst. a) ORTEP diagram of the asymmetric unit consisting of two
