Abstract

1-Bromonaphthalene, acenaphthene, phenanthrene, pyrene, chrysene, fluorene, guaiazulene, dibenzofuran, indole, N-methylindole, N-butylindole and carbazole react with (Z)-2-bromo-1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)ethylene in the presence of aluminium chloride to afford 2-substituted 1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)ethylenes. The structure of the prepared derivatives was confirmed by electron impact mass and 1H NMR spectroscopies.
