Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of the natural furan derivatives 5-{[(4-hydroxybenzyl) oxy] methyl}-2- furaldehyde and pichiafuran C is described. Diverse alternative synthetic approaches were developed for the preparation of these natural products. They were prepared through an etherification reaction of the key furan precursor 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furaldehyde (HMF), which can be readily obtained from d-fructose, d-glucose, or sucrose, with the ...
