A STUDY OF THE REACTIVITY OF 2,4-DIPHENYLFURAN

Abstract
The reactivity of 2,4-diphenylfuran has been studied and its promising potential as a substrate for oxidative homocoupling, lithiation followed by modification, bromination, and subsequent cross-coupling reactions has been demonstrated.
Keywords
