Abstract

5-(N,N-dimethylamino)-2-furfurylidene-N,N-dimethylimmonium bromide(I) reacts with aromatic aldehydes and its vinylogues to give condensation products II. Addition of alkoxides, sulfinates or thiolates to II renews the furan ring what can be utilized for preparation of new 4-(Ar-, R-methyl)-5-(N,N-dimethylamino)-2-furancarbaldehydes IV.
