Facile synthesis of methyl 2-formyl-5-hydroxymethyl-3-furancarboxylate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086234

A short practical synthesis of the title trisubstituted furan is presented. It involves a high yield Knoevenagel condensation of glyceraldehyde and methyl acetoacetate to the furan nucleus and, following a protection of the furyl alcohol, a radical bromin
