Furans: Reactions and Synthesis

This document discusses the reactions and synthesis of furans. It covers reactions of furans with electrophilic reagents like nitration, sulfonation, halogenation, and acylation. It also discusses ring syntheses of furans from 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds using the Paal-Knorr synthesis or from α-halo-carbonyl and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using the Feist-Benary synthesis. Examples of notable furan syntheses include those of tris(furanyl)-18-crown-6, furaneol, and ranitidine-Zantac.
