Preparation of 3-R-substituted 2-furylacrylates, where R is CH 3 , C 2 H s ' n-C 3 H7' n-C 4 H 9 , i-C4H9' t-C 4 H 9 , n-CsH~ l' C 6 H s ' 2-furyl, 2-pyrrolyl and 2-thienyl, by Horner modification of the Wittig synthesis is described. The stereochemistry of the arising alkyl derivatives and the effect of size and branching of the alkyl on the ratio of the E and Z isomers is investigated using gas-liquid chromatography and 1H-NMR spectroscopy.

Preparation and nucleophilic displacement reactions of alkyl 3-bromomethyl-3-(2-furyl)-2-propenoates with sulfur containing nucleophiles is described. The UV, IR and 1H-NMR spectra of the synthesized compounds are interpreted.
