Isopropanol → 2,5-Dimethyl-furan-3-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isopropanol (5 ml) was added to a solution of 2,5-dimethylfuran-3-carbonylchloride (1.64 g; 10.3 mmol) in 15 ml of methylene chloride at rt. After allowing the reaction mixture to stand at rt for 30 mins, the volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was co-evaporated from isopropanol to afford compound 865A (1.8 g, 96%) as a light amber liquid. 1HNMR (CDCl3): δ 1.30 (d, j=6.5 Hz, 6H), 2.23 (s, 3H), 2.52 (s, 3H), 5.14 (m, 1H), 6.21 (s, 1H).
