application | 3-furfural, also known as 3-furaldehyde, furan ring intermediates can be used as essential oils, cosmetics, fuels, photosensitizers, fungicides or drugs and other intermediates, with a very wide application prospect. |
preparation | step 1: synthesis of furan -3-based methanol dissolving furan -3-carboxylic acid (25g,0.22mmol,1.0eq) in tetrahydrofuran (330mL), slowly adding borane-tetrafuran solution (1mol/L,330mL) dropwise under ice bath, after dropping, stirring at normal temperature for 2 hours, TLC showed that the reaction was completed, and methanol (40mL) was slowly added dropwise under the ice bath to quench the reaction. Concentrate under reduced pressure, add ethyl acetate (500mL), wash with 2mol/L dilute hydrochloric acid (40mL × 2), dry the organic phase, concentrate, and purify the crude product by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether: ethyl acetate = 4:1v/v) to obtain the product (12g, yield: 55.7%). Step 2: Synthesis of 3-furfural Dissolve furan-3-based methanol (12.0g,0.12mol,1.0eq) in tetrahydrofuran (500mL), add manganese dioxide (156.4g,1.2mol,10.0eq), stir at room temperature for 18 hours, and TLC shows that the reaction is completed. Filtration, filtrate concentration to obtain the product (9.0g crude product), which is directly used for the next reaction. |
