Benzyl 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxylate

CAS: 22427-65-2

Benzyl 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxylate is a catalytic hydrogenolysis agent that can be used to reduce fluoride. It is prepared by the reaction of benzyl chloride with nitrofuran-2-carboxylic acid in the presence of tetraphenylphosphonium and sulfolane. The catalyst, tetraphenylphosphonium, has been shown to increase the yield of benzyl 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxylate. Benzyl 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxylate is mainly used for the synthesis of dimethoxybenzene from dimethylphenol and has also been used as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of ethylene oxide.
