Furfuryl esters

Alkylfurans, halofurans, alkoxyfurans, furfuryl ester and ethers, and furfural diacetate [613-75-2] behave similarly. Furans containing electron withdrawing constituents, for example, furfural, 2-furoic acid, and nitrofurans, fail as dienes even with very strong dienophiles. 

The furfuryl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid polymerize via a free-radical mechanism without apparent retardation problems arising from the presence of the furan ring. Early reports on these systems described hard insoluble polymers formed in bulk polymerizations and the cross-linking ability of as little as 2% of furfuryl acrylate in the solution polymerization of methylacrylate121. ...

They are both chrysanthemic acid esters of (5-benzylfuran-3-yl)methanol (Elliott alcohol, 1) [15]. Patented methods [16] for the industrial preparation of Elliotf s alcohol are demanding or such as to be hardly exploited in industrial-scale plants. For instance, in one of these methods [17] (5-benzyl-3-furyl)methanol is obtained by a sequence of Claisen condensation of benzyl cyanide and a dialkyl succinate, hydrolysis, esterification, protection of the ketone group, formylation, cyclization to 5-benzyl-3-furfuryl ester and reduction to alcohol with lithium aluminium hydride. 

The following esters, 1.110 to 1.114, were interpreted by Maga (1979) as furoates and not as the 2-furylmethyl (furfuryl) esters present in the two references quoted. Elsewhere in the review, the esters 1.108 to 1.110 and 1.112 were quoted correctly with another reference. In the same line, the thioester 1.139 was interpreted as a derivative of furoic acid instead of ethanethioic (thioacetic) acid.
