Sodium Carbonate → 5-(3-Bromophenyl)-2-furaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

Synthesis of (Z)-ethyl-2-(5-oxo-2-thioxo-4-((5-(3-(tributylstannyl)phenyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)imidazolidin-1-yl)acetate may be carried out in accordance with a known method, for example, a method described in non-patent document 2. First, substantially equivalent amounts of 5-formyl-2-furanboronic acid and 3-bromoiodobenzene are dissolved in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, and sodium carbonate and a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium are added thereto. This solution is heated to reflux while stirring so as to carry out a reaction. After the reaction is complete, the solvent is removed by evaporation. Then, purification is carried out to give 5-(3-bromophenyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde (FIG. 1, step 1).
