Reactions Of Furan b) Diels-Alder reaction: O O H C O + O O O C H O O c) Addition of carbenes (with diazomethane): CH2N2 -N2 O O 7
Reactions Of Furan d) Furanis not stable in presence of air and usually stabilized by addition of small amount of hydroquinone. Air oxidation takes place by 2, 5 addition forming peroxide. Hydrogenation of furan peroxide gives succinaldehyde. O2 [H] H2C CH2 O O O OHC CHO O 3. Electrophilic substitution of furan: *Furan cannot be directly nitrated with nitric acid (is very readily attack by oxidizing agents). 2-Nitrofuran may be prepared by nitrating furan with acetyl nitrate (CH3COONO2). Similarly, furan cannot be directly sulphonated, but 2-sulphonic acid may be prepared by action of SO3/pyridine on furan. *If (-I) group is present in the ring, then sulphonation can be carried out directly, e.g., furoic acid gives furoic 5-sulphonic acid. *Furan reacts readily with halogen, but the liberated (HX) causes polymerization, because of this halogenated furan prepared by indirect method, e.g., by brominating furoic acid and decarboxylating the product, 5-bromofuroic acid to 2-bromofuran by heating in quinolone in the presence of copper bronze. Aluminum chloride attacks furan ring, and Friedel-Crafts is best carried with SnCl4. 8

Reactions Of Furfural Furfural is chemically very similar to benzaldehyde as the following 1. It undergoes oxidation (KMnO4) to furoic acid. 2. When it was submitted to react with sodium hydroxide it undergoes cannizzaro reaction and gives a mixture from furfuryl alcohol and sodium salt of furoic acid. 3. It under goes benzoin condensation and gives furoin. 4. It reacts with aniline in the presence of acetic acid and gives Schiff s base.

Reactions Of Furfural 5. It reacts with acetone and yields furfurylidene acetone. O O furfurylidene acetone 6. It reacts with CaO/400 C, it loses carbon monoxide and gives furan by steam decomposition. 7. With ammonia and ammonium chloride gives 3-hydroxypyridine. H OH NH3/NH4Cl C CHO O O H2N 13
