Precious Metal Time

What do you want to bet that Huw Davies and co-workers were partly interested in making dihydrofurans here, and mostly interested in having a synthetic sequence that used rhodium, silver, and then gold? Not that I blame them - personally, I'd have gone ahead and done a palladium coupling, a copper-catalyzed Ullmann of some sort, and then found something to reduce with platinum oxide. Go for the record! What is the record, I wonder?

In a side project I am working on, we are trying to use Pd then Cu, then Pt, then some more Cu all in 2-3 discrete steps. However, I must add the molecular architecture probably warrants this use. ;)

What, no alkene to make into a diol using osmium tetroxide?
