Benzonitrile → 2-(Phenylethynyl)furan

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure was identical to Example 1, with the exception that 2-furonitrile (0.175 ml; 0.186 g; 2.00 mmol) was used as a substrate instead of benzonitrile. GC analysis of the organic phase of the hydrolyzed reaction sample after 18 h at 65° C. showed the presence of 1.26 mmol (74% yield) of 2-(phenylethynyl)furan and no remaining 2-furonitrile in the reaction mixture.
