Rings furan

PCC cleaves the furan ring, giving a conjugated endione. The unreacted alcohol attacks one of the ketones, yielding a cyclic hemiacetal.

The reaction of 2-amino-4(2-furyl)thiazole in acetic acid with bromine yields product 198 brominated on the furan ring (Scheme 126). The... 

Acid-catalyzed hydrogen exchange is used as a measure of the comparative reactivity of different aromatic rings (see Table 5). These reactions take place on the neutral molecules or, at high acidities, on the cations. At the preferred positions the neutral isoxazole, isothiazole and pyrazole rings are all considerably more reactive than benzene. Although the 4-position of isothiazole is somewhat less reactive than the 4-position in thiophene, a similar situation does not exist with isoxazole-furan ring systems. 

The stability of various heterocycles can be also compared using oxidation procedures. Thus, the oxidation of the heterocycles in Scheme 29 with potassium permanganate showed that under these reaction conditions the isoxazole ring is more stable than the furan ring but less stable than the pyrazole and furazan rings. 

The unsaturated tetraoxaquaterene (accompanied by linear condensation products) was first synthesized in 18.5% yield by the acid-catalyzed condensation of furan with acetone in the absence of added lithium salts. Other ketones also condensed with furan to give analogous products in 6-12% yield.A corresponding macrocycle was also prepared in 9% yield from pyrrole and cyclohexanone. The macrocyclic ether products have also been obtained by condensation of short linear condensation products having 2, 3, or 4 furan rings with a carbonyl compound. ... 

Group of plastics composed of resins in which the furane ring is an integral portion of the polymer chain made from polymerization or polyconden-sation of furfural, furfural alcohol and other compounds containing furane rings also formed by reaction of furane compounds with an equal weight or less of other compounds. 

Furan-2-carboxylic acid reacts with sulfur tetrafluoride at 0 °C to give 2-furoyl fluoride, but attempts at further fluorination results in resin formation [222] A second carboxylic group and/or electron withdrawing substiments, such as the nitro or tnfluoromethyl group, stabilize the furan ring Thus, turandicar-... 

Treatment of 2,5 and 2,4-furandicarboxylic acids with sulfur tetrafluonde in an excess of hydrogen fluoride leads simultaneously to conversion of the carboxylic groups into trifluoromethyl groups and addition of two fluorine atoms to the furan ring to give highly fluorinated diastereoisomersof2,5-dihydrofuran [225,226,227] (equations 117 and 118)... 

The furan ring m (tetrafluorobenzo)furans is cleaved by chromium triojdde with the formation of ortho-hydroxyketone denvd ives [68] (equation 60)... 

Butin et al. reported that the indole derivative 29 was prepared by treatment of 2-tosylaminobenzylfuran 25 with ethanolic HCl in 78% yield. The furan ring served as the origin of a carbonyl group in this modification of the Reissert procedure. ... 

The second group of reactions is called vicinal difunctionalization. They embrace the C2 and C3 positions of the furan ring simultaneously. Thus, complex 3 (X = O, R = R = R = H) reacts with benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal to give 4H-furanium cation (the product of electrophile addition at C4), which experiences further attack by the methoxide group with formation of the acetal 8 (950M2861). This reaction is possible in the presence of the Lewis acid (BF3—OEt2). Reaction with methyl vinyl ketone in methanol, when run in identical conditions. 

Synthesis of multisubstituted furan rings using silyl protection 99CSR209. Synthetic applications of furan Diels-Alder chemistry 97T14179. Transformation of furans to N-heterocycles by aza-Achmatovicz reaction 98SL105. 

Reaction of the potassium salt of salicylaldehyde with chlo-roacetone affords first the corresponding phenolic ether aldol cyclization of the aldehyde with the ketonic side chain affords the benzofuran (1). Reduction of the carbonyl group by means of the Wolf-Kischner reaction affords 2-ethyl-benzofuran. Friedel-Crafts acylation with anisoyl chloride proceeds on the remaining unsubstituted position on the furan ring (2). The methyl ether is then cleaved by means of pyridine hydrochloride (3). lodina-tion of the phenol is accomplished by means of an alkaline solution of iodine and potassium iodide. There is thus obtained benziodarone (4)...

Alteration of the structural pattern produces a pair of adrenergic a-blocking agents which serve as anti hypertensives. These structures are reminiscent of prazoci n. Reaction of piperazine with 2-furoy1 chloride followed by catalytic reduction of the furan ring leads to synthon 69. This, when heated... 

It would be expected that a few straightforward steps could accomplish the transformation of alkyl bromide 14 into phosphorus ylide 12 (Scheme 2b). On the other hand, the evolution of 14 from substituted aromatic furan ring 15 may not be obvious. It is, in fact, conceivable that the action of ethylene glycol on substituted furan...
