The Birch Reduction of Heterocyclic Compounds V [1] Birch Reductin of 2- and 5-Acylfuran-3-carboxylic Acids and Reductive Elimination of 2-(Arylmethoxymethyl)furan-3-carboxylic Acids

摘要

The Birch reduction of 2-and 5-acylfuran-3-carboxylic acid 1 and 4 gave 2-acyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid 2 and 5-acyltetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid 5, respectively. Further examination of the reaductivde elimination was also studied on 2-9arylmethoxymethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acids 7.
