Abstract Synthetic methods for preparing of 2-, 3-, 4-halomethyl-5-tert-butylfurans are developed. Itwas established that the bromination of 3-and 4-methyl-2-tert-butylfurans with N- bromosuccinimide proceedsmainly at the free α-position of the furan ring, and not at the methyl group. Therefore, the target halomethyl-furans were prepared through the corresponding 3-and 4-methoxymethyl derivatives. The obtained five products were ...
