Abstract:Herein, we addressed the challenge of using two chitin-derived furans, namely 3-acetamido-5-ethylfuran (3A5EF) and 3- acetamido-5-(1-hydroxyethyl)furan (3A5HF), for the formation of 4-acetylaminophthalimides and other N-containing aromatic compounds. The transformation is carried out sequentially and involves the formation of the Diels-Alder adduct, forming 7-oxa-norbornene backbone, which, in an acidic/acetylating medium, undergoes a dehydration/aromatisation process providing nitrogenated aromatic compounds … Show more
