L. Dinunno et A. Scilimati, POLYHOMOLOGATION OF HETEROAROMATIC ALDEHYDES VIA 5-HYDROXYISOXAZOLIDINES, Gazzetta chimica italiana, 126(12), 1996, pp. 823-826
Extension to 2-furaldehyde of the 5-hydroxyisoxazolidine route for the
C-2-homologation of aromatic aldehydes allowed us to ascertain the po
ssibility of both an efficient multiple iteration and a remarkable abb
reviation of the procedure. The results are of relevant interest also
in view of potential further elaborations of the so obtained 2-furyl p
olyalkenals by Various known reactions involving the furan moiety.
