Herein, we describe an environmentally benign and cost-effective protocol for the synthesis of valuable bifuranyl dicarboxylates, starting with α-bromination of readily accessible furan-2-carboxylates by LiBr and K2S2O8. Furthermore, the bromination intermediate product 5-bromofuran-2-carboxylates were then conducted in a palladium-catalyzed reductive homocoupling reactions in the presence of alcohols to afford bifuranyl dicarboxylates. One of the final products in this protocol, [2,2’]bifuran-5,5’-dicarboxylic acid esters, are essential monomers of poly(ethylene bifuranoate), which can be served as an green and versatile alternative polymer for traditional poly(ethylene terephthalate) that is currently common in technical plastics.
Asymmetry induction on the [4C(4π)+3C(2π)] cycloaddition reaction of C2-functionalized furans: Influence of the chiral auxiliary nature

The study of the π-facial diastereoselectivity in the [4+3] cycloaddition reaction of thirteen different chiral 2-substituted furans with oxyallyl cations, under sonochemical and/or thermal conditions, is presented. In almost all studied furans, a cis diastereoselectivity and a high endo diastereoselectivity is observed. Decreasing the distance between the closest stereocenter of the chiral auxiliary and the reactive C2-carbon of the furan ring, increases the π-facial diastereoselectivity, especially by using chiral furyl-sulfoxides.
