Synthesis of formyl and carboxy derivatives of heterocycles by modification of 2-(2-aminovinyl)- benzofuran-5,6-dicarbonitriles

Resumo

Procedures have been developed for the synthesis of 2-formylbenzofuran-5,6-dicarbonitriles, 5,6-dicyanobenzofuran-2-carboxylic acids, and formyldibenzo[b,d]furan-2,3-dicarbonitriles by modification of 2-(2-aminovinyl)benzofuran-5,6-dicarbonitriles with sodium periodate or Vilsmeier reagent.
