Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-furaldehyde (10.0 g) in ethanol (200 ml), nitromethane (6.37 g) was added at room temperature, followed by the dropwise addition of a 10N-aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (11.0 ml) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into a 15% aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (500 ml). The precipitate so formed was collected by filtration and dried, whereby the title compound (8.01 g) was obtained as a yellowish white solid.
