Abstract

In this study, arylglyoxals, acetylacetone, and 2,6-dimethyl phenol or 2,6-di-tert-butyl phenol are combined to efficiently synthesize a series of 1-(4-(3,5-dialkylphenyl)-2-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-yl) ethan-1-one derivatives in excellent yields. These reactions were carried out in acetone at reflux under catalyst-free conditions in the presence of triethylamine as a base for 3 h. NMR, FT-IR, EI-MS, and elemental studies were used to characterize the products' structural characteristics. The present study has also several benefits, such as excellent yields and the ease of workup procedure, making it an appealing, practical, and acceptable one-pot method for producing functionalized derivatives of dialkyl furan.
