Furfural → HCID 12600432, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500 mL 3 necked flask is charged with 60 mL ethanol, 29.07 g (0.3 mole) of 2-furaldehyde and 110 g (0.6 mole) of ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate. The reaction mixture is cooled in an ice bath before 21.15 21.15 g (0.35 mol) of aqueous ammonium hydroxide is added slowly with stirring. The mixture is heated at reflux for 2 hours and cooled. The resulting precipitate is filtered and recrystallized from hot ethanol to give 53.34 g (39%) of crystals, m.p. 129°-131° C.
