Abstract

The convenient synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical 3, 4-dialkylsulfanylfurans from 3, 4-furandithiolate is described. The reactivity of the furan cycle as a diene in Diels–Alder reactions with acrylonitrile is discussed in relation to the presence of one or two thiolato substituents.
