The mechanism for a Achmatowicz reaction in which a furan is converted to a dihydropyran. The furan is first reacted with bromine in methanol which then goes through a rearrangement. An acid is then required to complete the reaction, often sulfuric acid is used in this reaction. In place of bromine, m-CPBA can also be used in order to accomplish this synthesis.
