Mechansim of reaction between 1‐bromo‐2‐fluorobenzene and furan in the presence of Li/Hg
This is a question based on two reactions.
The first reaction is the formation of benzyne using $\ce{Li/Hg}$. After this a Diels–Alder reaction takes place between furan and benzyne. The reaction mechanism would be as follows [1]:



A more generalised form of this reaction, dealing with the conditions needed and the yield of reaction would be [2]:
