Abstract

Abstract Electrochemical methoxylation of 2-phenylfuran (I) and 2-(4-nitrophenyl) furan (VI) proceeded anomalously, affording 5-methoxy-2-phenylfuran (XI) and 5-methoxy-2-(4- nitrophenyl) furan (XIII), respectively. 2-Phenyl-5-methylfuran (II) and methyl-2-(2- methylphenyl)-3-furoate (VIII) behaved normally giving the respective 2, 5-dimethoxy-2, 5- dihydrofuran derivatives XII and XIV. The suggested EC N EC B mechanism of the ...
