Reaction with electrophiles - Nitration Cannot use conc. HNO3 / H2SO4 Halogenation
Reaction with electrophiles - Acylation Alkylation Generally not practical (polyalkylation, polymerisation) Condensation with Aldehydes and Ketones C.f.
Reaction with electrophiles - Condensation with imines / iminium ions Reaction with oxidating agents Reaction with nucleophiles Some ex. on furans activated with -NO2 group
Pd-cat couplings Heteroaryl-Heck c.f.
Cycloadditions Furanes as diene - one of the first DA examples Furan reacts with many dienophiles (alkenes, alkynes, allenes) exo isolated (termodyn favoured) endo (kinetic prod.) With 1O2 Furan as dienophile (only intramolec. ex) Photochemical cycloaddition
