Synthesis of (E)- and (Z)-5-(Bromomethylene)furan-2(5H)-one by Bromodecarboxylation of (E)-2-(5-Oxofuran-2(5H)-ylidene)acetic Acid

(E)- and (Z)-5-(bromomethylene)furan-2(5H)-one have been prepared starting from the commercially available adduct between furan and maleic anhydride. A bromodecarboxylation reaction is a key step in the synthesis. The reaction gives the (E)- or (Z)-5-(bromomethylene)furan-2(5H)-one as the major prod...

Description
Summary:(E)- and (Z)-5-(bromomethylene)furan-2(5H)-one have been prepared starting from the commercially available adduct between furan and maleic anhydride. A bromodecarboxylation reaction is a key step in the synthesis. The reaction gives the (E)- or (Z)-5-(bromomethylene)furan-2(5H)-one as the major product, dependent on the method used in the bromodecarboxylation.
