Maltose as an efficient, available, cheap and eco-friendly catalyst has been applied for the synthesis of 3,4,5-substituted furan-2(5H)one derivatives via a one-pot three-component reaction of arylamines, aromatic aldehydes and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in water. This method has notable advantages in terms of simple workup, no need for column chromatography, short reaction time and high y...

Theoretical fine spectroscopy has been performed for the valence ionization spectra of furan, pyrrole, and thiophene with the symmetry-adapted-cluster configuration-interaction general-R method. The present method described that the pi(1) state interacts with the pi(3) (-2)pi*, pi(2) (-2)pi*, and pi(2) (-1)pi(3) (-1)pi* shake-up states providing the split peaks and the outer-valence satellites,...

The neoclerodane diterpene salvinorin A, found in the leaves of Salvia divinorum, is a potent κ-opioid receptor agonist, making it an attractive scaffold for development into a treatment for substance abuse. Although several successful semisynthetic studies have been performed to elucidate structure-activity relationships, the lack of analogues with substitutions to the furan ring of salvinorin...

2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) is a highly valuable biobased rigid diol resembling aromatic monomers in polyester synthesis. In this work, BHMF is enzymatically polymerized with various diacid ethyl esters by Candida antarctica lipase b (CALB) via a two-stage, three-step method. A series of novel biobased furan polyesters are successfully produced, with number average molecular weights (  ...

In the title compound, C18H17FO2S, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzo-furan ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 Å) and the 4-fluoro-phenyl ring is 86.38 (6)°. The terminal C atom of the ethyl substituent is displaced by 1.444 (3) Å from the benzo-furan ring system to the same side of the mol-ecule as the 4-fluoro-phenyl ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of ...

There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit of title compound, C(11)H(16)BrNO(3), which was obtained via the tandem Michael addition-elimination reaction of 3,4-dibromo-5-meth-oxy-furan-2(5H)-one and 4-methyl-piperidine in the presence of potassium fluoride. The furan-one rings are approximately planar [maximum atomic deviations of 0.026 (2) and 0.015 (2) Å, respectively]. The packing is sta...

The title compound, C(9)H(9)N(3)O(3)S, comprises a racemic mixture of chiral mol-ecules containing four stereogenic centres. The cyclo-hexane ring tends towards a boat conformation, while the tetra-hydro-furan ring and the dihydro-furan ring adopt envelope conformations. The dihedral angle between the thio-semicarbazide fragment and the fused-ring system is 77.20 (10)°. The crystal structure is...

The title compound, C(19)H(12)F(3)NO(4), was synthesized by the reaction of 5-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-2-furan-methanol and 2,6-difluoro-benzoyl-isocyanate. The seven atoms of the fluorophenyl group are disordered over two positions with site occupancy factors ca 0.6 and 0.4. The dihedral angle between the furan and fluorophenyl rings is 1.58°. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are linked via ...

The title compound, C(25)H(19)NO was synthesized by a Pd-catalysed intra-molecular Diels-Alders reaction. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 82.33 (5)° and the dihedral angles between the hydro-naphtho[2,3-c]furan plane and the two benzene rings are 89.50 (3) and 77.64 (2)°. The O atom is displaced by 0.5929 (3) Å from the hydro-naphtho[2,3-c]furan plane.
