Abstract
A new synthesis of (E)-2-(4-X-phenyl)-1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)ethylenes (X = H, CH3, OH, OCH3), 2-(2-naphthyl)-1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)ethylene and 2-(2-thienyl)-1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)ethylene from (Z)-2-bromo-1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)ethylene and the respective aromatic or heteroaromatic derivative under catalysis of aluminium chloride is described.
