A large group of derivatives of 3-furoic acid and 3-furyl ketones can be prepared in high yield by a process which consists of reacting an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketone having either an .alpha.-carboalkoxy or .alpha.-acyl group with N-bromosuccinimide and thermally cyclizing the resulting bromine containing intermediate.

The first method for the reduction of α-keto substituted acrylate compounds by Hantzsch ester in water under the catalysis of thiourea has been developed. The products were isolated in moderate to high yields (38–95%). These products are important intermediates in the synthesis of a series of natural products and other biologically active molecules.
