Abstract
5-Nitrofurfuryl bromide (I) and 4-nitrobenzyl bromide (VI) were investigated as possible alkylation reagents in reaction with 5-nitrofurfuryl trichloromethyl sulfone (IV) and 5-nitrofurfuryl phenyl sulfone (V). 1,2-Bis(5-nitro-2-furyl)ethylene (III) was formed from I in an alkaline medium and 1,2-bis(5-nitro-2-furyl)ethane (X) in the presence of furfuryl mercaptan. Products of this reaction were identified by IR, UV, 1H NMR and mass spectrometries.
