Catalytic oxidation of furan and hydrofuran compounds. 3. Synthesis of 2,5-diethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran in the furan-hydrogen peroxide-aqueous ethanol-vanadyl sulfate system

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02251680

2,5-Diethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran was synthesized for the first time by the oxidation of furan with hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous ethanol medium in the presence of vanadyl sulfate. The reaction product was characterized by PMR, ¹³C NMR, and IR sp
