Abstract

1. The reaction of vinyl ethers with furan and with 2-methylfuran was studied under conditions under which vinyl ethers undergo diene condensation and also in presence of acid catalysts. 2. Under diene-synthesis conditions vinyl ethers do not react with furan and with 2-methylfuran, but in presence of acid catalysts substitutive addition occurs, leading to the addition of two molecules of 2-methylfuran or furan to the vinyl ether molecule and formation of 2,2′-ethylidenebis(5-methylfuran) and 2,2′-ethylidenedifuran.
