Sigma Aldrich Furan
Description
- Furan is a five membered heterocyclic compound that is highly volatile, flammable and a potential carcinogen. it undergoes diels-alder reaction with 2-bromoacrolein catalyzed by oxazaborolidine to yield chiral 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptene derivatives. cationic bis(4-tert-butyloxazoline)cu(ii) complex catalyzed enantioselective diels-alder reaction between acryloyl oxazolidinone and furan to afford ent-shikimic acid has been described. lewis acid catalyzed diels-alder reaction between furan and some dienophiles affords substituted cyclohexenols and cyclohexadienols.furan was used in the following processes:
- Preparation of the starting material required for the synthesis of calix[6]pyrrole
- To investigate the kinetics and mechanism of reactions of chlorine atoms with volatile organic compounds
- Catalytic transformation of furan to aromatics and olefins
