Abstract
In situ prepared magnesium salts of ethyl malonate react with 5-X-2-furoyl chlorides (X = Br, NO2, C6H5S and C6H5SO2) to give the corresponding ethyl 5-X-2-furoylmalonates. On treatment of these compounds with secondary amines no nucleophilic substitution of the group X in position 5 of the furan nucleus took place but, instead, amides of 5-X-2-furancarboxylic acids were isolated.
