Abstract
The replacement of the halogen in 2-halo-5-nitrofurans (Hal=C1, Br, I) in dimethylformamide (DMF) under the influence of tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide to give 2-hydroxy-5-nitrofuran salts was studied. The intermediate anion radicals of the halonitrofurans were recorded by EPR spectroscopy; bromo- and iodonitrofurans can give 5,5′-dinitro-2,2′-difuryl anion radicals under the influence of Bu4NOH. The polarographic reduction of halonitrofurans in the presence of hydrogen peroxide also leads to 2-hydroxy-5-nitrofuran. A mechanism for the transformation is proposed.
