Abstract:The application of biomass-derived furans in sequential Diels-Alder (DA)/aromatization reactions is a promising approach for the preparation of aromatic compounds with different substitution patterns. In this work, we addressed the challenge of using chitin-derived furans, 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 form… Show more
“…22 The DA reaction has been applied extensively to carbohydrate-derived furans. [23][24][25][26] This normally requires that these typically electron poor dienes are first converted into more electron rich derivatives. 27,28 However, very recently examples of the direct Diels-Alder reaction with carbohydrate-based furans have been reported.…”
Furans derived from carbohydrate feedstocks are a versatile class of bio-renewable building blocks and have been used extensively to access 7-oxanorbornenes via Diels-Alder reactions. Due to their substitution patterns these...
