A convenient method for the syntheses of tetrahydrofuran moiety from furan by catalytic transfer of hydrogenation with ammonium formate
摘要:
Pd-C/ammonium formate efficiently and selectively reduces hetero-aromatic furan ring to the corresponding tetrahydrofuran moiety. Under this reaction condition, carbon-carbon double bond and alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones also reduced to the corresponding alkanes and saturated ketones. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
