Abstract
A mixture of 3-formyl and 3-acetoxymethyl derivatives is formed in the oxidation of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-5-ethylbenzofuran with selenium dioxide. Reduction of the products with lithium aluminum hydride gives the corresponding 2,3-dihydroxymethyl derivatives, which are converted to 2,3-diformyl derivatives by successive oxidation by the Fetizon method and with manganese dioxide. The corresponding benzofuro[2, 3-d]pyridazines were synthesized by reaction of 2-carbethoxy-3-formyl-5-ethylbenzofuran with hydrazine hydrate.
