Abstract
The title compounds were prepared by condensation of 5-X-2-furaldehydes (X = H, Br, C6H5S, C6H5SO2, 4-CH3-C6H4SO2, 3-O2N-C6H4O) with nitromethane in methanol. 5-Trimethylammonium-2-(2-nitrovinyl)furan bromide (Ii) was obtained from 5-bromo-2-(2-nitrovinyl)furan (Ib) and trimethylamine in benzene; its thermal decomposition in methanol furnished 5-dimethylamino-2-(2-nitrovinyl)furan (Ih). Reactions of 5-X-2-(2-nitrovinyl)furans with nitrogen-containing nucleophiles were investigated.
