Synthesis of Phosphonomethylated Bromoacetylfurans and Their Reactions with 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds

Abstract

Bromination of (diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)acetylfurans with dioxane dibromide in the mixture of chloroform and acetic acid in presence of traces of hydrogen bromide at room temperature proceeds selectively at the methyl group of ketone does not involving phosphonate group. Obtained bromoacetyl derivatives were used for alkylation of acetoacetic ester and cyclohexan-1,3-dione. Reaction of 1,4-diketone prepared from acetoacetic ester with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol at room temperature leads to formation of furylpyrazines due to aromatization of intermediate azines by means of air oxygen.
