Synthesis and reactions of substituted furo[3,2-b]pyrrole derivatives

Abstract

Preparation of ethyl 2-methylfuro[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate and 2-bromofuro[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate, as well as alkylation and hydrolysis of ethyl 2-methylfuro[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate, ethyl furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate and ethyl (3,4-dichlorophenyl)furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate, is described. IR, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectra of the synthesized compounds were measured and interpreted.
