Darling, Stephen D. published the artcileLithium-ammonia reduction of benzofurans, Recommanded Product: 5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran, the main research area is FURAN BENZO REDN; BENZO FURAN REDN; BENZOFURANS LITHIUM AMMONIA REDN.
The reduction of 5-methoxy-2-methylbenzofuran (I), 5-methoxybenzofuran (II), 2,3- dihydro – 5 – methoxy – 2 – methylbenzofuran (III), and 2,3-dihydro-5-methoxybenzofuran (IV) with Li-NH3 systems is described. Furan ring opening was observed in the reduction of I or II when a limited amount of alc. was present in the NH3 solution With excess alc., the corresponding 5-methoxy-2,3,4,7-tetrahydrobenzofuran was formed from each substrate. A side product from the reduction of III was 2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2-methylbenzofuran (V). 21 references.
