To a stirred suspension of dry sodium acetylacetonate (1.83g, 15mmol) in 20 ml CH3CN at 0deg.C freshly prepared bis(5-methylfur-2-yl)methylperchlorate [] (2.74g, 10mmol) was added in small portions waiting for decolouration between each one. After further stirring for 15 min, the mixture was poured into 100 ml of H2O. Extraction with Et2O, drying of the ether layer by Na2SO4 and evaporation gave the brown oil, which was dissolved in acetone, filtered through a pad of silica gel and then left to crystallize. Yield 1.53g (56%).
M.p. 59-60deg.C.
1H-NMR (CDCl3): 5.91 (d, 2H, 3-HFur); 5.82 (d, 2H, 4-HFur); 4.77 (d, 1H, CHFur); 4.55 (d, 1H, CHCO); 2.17 (s, 6H, CH3 Fur); 2.07 (s, 6H, CH3 CO) ppm.
Anal. calc. for C16H18O4 (274.32): C 70.05, H 6.61; found C 69.94, H 6.67.
