Abstract

In this work, a simple and convenient method to prepare furan-3-carboxylic acid and derivatives from the readily available 4-trichloroacetyl-2,3-dihydrofuran 1, is presented. The synthetic potential of 1 for the synthesis of isoxazoles, 12 pyrazoles, 13 pyrimidines, [14], [15] and [16] 3-aminomethylene-dihydro-furan-2-ones, 17 and analogues of cyclophosphamide, 18 has been reported. ... The synthesis of 3-carbonylfuran derivatives was carried out in two steps ( ...
