Abstract

Di-and tri-2-furoylmethane have been identified as by-products in the synthesis of 2- acetylfuran by the reaction of furoyl chloride with dimethylcadmium. The compounds have also been prepared by conventional synthetic procedures. The near ultraviolet absorption spectra of the new ketones indicate that both are highly enolized in ethanol solutions. The spectra of the enolate anions are strikingly similar to those of the enols. This appears to be ...
