An efficient access to fluorescent 2,3,4-tricyanofurans from α-cyano ketones using DDQ as maleonitrile building block
An efficient synthetic method was developed for the synthesis of 2,3,4-tricyanofurans from α-cyano ketones using DDQ as maleonitrile building block under very mild conditions. This methodology allows for the construction of a new kind of fluorescent core framework. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.
