Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 4,5-dibromo-furan-2-carboxylic acid 22a (5.5 g, 20.3 mmol) and 18 mL of ammonium hydroxide was added to 63 mL of water followed by addition of zinc powder (1.46 g, 22.33 mmol). Upon completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The mixture was adjusted to pH 3 with 1 M hydrochloric acid to form a great quantity of precipitates. The mixture was filtered and the filter cake was washed with n-hexane (15 mL×4) and dried to obtain the title compound 4-bromo-furan-2-carboxylic acid 22b (3.2 g, yield 83.1%) as a white solid.
