Abstract

An efficient synthesis of 2,3-diarylated fully substituted furans was performed through the sequential reactions of Knoevenagel reaction, Stetter reaction catalyzed by NHC, and intramolecular cyclization under solvent-free conditions. The protocol has the advantages of easy workup, high yields, and an environmental benign procedure compared with the reported methods.

Key words

NHC - fully substituted furans - umpolung - solvent-free synthesis - multicomponent reaction

General Procedure for the Synthesis of 5 Aryl aldehyde 1 (1 mmol), DBU (0.35 mmol), and malononitrile 2 (1 mmol) were triturated together in an agate mortar with a pestle for 5 min. Then the mixture was kept at 55 ˚C for a certain time (monitored by TLC). After addition of another aryl aldehyde (1 mmol), sulfamethiazole salt (0.15 mmol) was added and mixed thoroughly by grinding at 55 ˚C. The reaction mixture was mixed by grinding every half an hour with a pestle and mortar during 1-5 h reaction time (monitored by TLC). The resultant mixture was cooled to r.t., purified through column chromatography using acetone and PE (1:5) as the eluent, to give pure product 5a-o.
