An efficient and simple method for the determination of furan in baby-food (vegetables and fruits) by solid phase micro-extraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) was developed and validated. Experimental design was used to investigate the effects of temperature and time of extraction. The calculated regression model was used to find the experimental conditions providing the optimal SPME extraction yield. Validation was carried out in terms of limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), linearity, precision and trueness. LOD and LOQ values in the low ngkg(-1) were achieved, whereas linearity was established over two order of magnitude. Good precision was obtained both in terms of intra-day repeatability and between-day precision on two concentration levels (RSD% lower than 3.6%). Recovery values of 91.5+/-6.2% and of 96.1+/-1.3% (n=3) were calculated at 75 ngkg(-1) and 75 microgkg(-1) level. Finally, the applicability of the method to the determination of furan in a number of commercial and home-made baby-food samples was demonstrated.

[reaction: see text] The coupling of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones with nucleophiles, either catalyzed by AuCl3 or induced by an electrophile, provides highly substituted furans in good to excellent yields under very mild reaction conditions. Various nucleophiles, including functionally substituted alcohols, H2O, carboxylic acids, 1,3-diketones, and electron-rich arenes, and a range of cyclic and acyclic 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones readily participate in these cyclizations. Iodine, NIS, and PhSeCl have proven successful as electrophiles in this process. The resulting iodine-containing furans can be readily elaborated to more complex products using known organopalladium chemistry.
