The simple and “green” synthesis of highly substituted furan derivatives containing rare 5-amino-3-aroylfuran moiety

[Display omitted] •The new route to highly substituted furan derivatives contain rare 5-amino-3-aroylfuran moiety is described.•A mechanism for ADCP heterocyclization under the action of hydrogen peroxide is proposed.•The one sample of obtained compounds was characterized by XRD. The reaction of potassium 2-aroyl-1,3-dicyano-1,3-bis-methoxycarbonylpropenides with hydrogen peroxide is unusual for compounds of this type and results in formation of highly substituted 5-amino-3-aroylfuran derivatives. In contrast to few related literature methods leading to formation of this moiety, the advantages of this synthesis includes a readily available and inexpensive precursors, non-usage of any toxic reagents or solvents and short process time. The structure of one of the obtained compounds was determined by X-ray diffraction.
