General description

Ethyl 3-furoate undergoes regioselective palladium(0)-catalyzed arylation reaction with aryl bromides.

Application

Ethyl 3-furoate was used as starting reagent for the synthesis of ethyl 2,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2,2,1]hepta-2,5-diene-5-carboxylate and 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-furan-2-sulfonamide.
