Abstract

The polarographic reduction of 2-halo-5-nitrofurans in dimethylformamide, which leads ultimately to replacement of the halogen by hydrogen to give a nitrofuran, was studied. The ESR spectra of halonitrofuran anion radicals (Hal=Cl, Br) were recorded. Only the spectrum of the nitrofuran anion radical can be observed in the reduction of 2-I-5-nitrofuran. It is shown that the stabilities of the anion radicals of the halonitrofurans and the mechanism of their subsequent transformations depend to a considerable degree on the nature of the halogen.
