Palladium-Catalysed Dimerisation of Furfural
Abstract
5,5'-Diformyl-2,2'-difuran has been synthesized in 60% yield by the palladium acetate-catalysed aryl coupling of furfural in acetonitrile in the presence of dioxygen under pressure. Various reaction conditions have been exploited, and mechanistic aspects of the reaction are discussed.
