Abstract

A simple preparation of ethyl 2,5-dimethylfuran-3-carboxylate, 2,5-dimethylfuran-3,4-dicarboxylic acid, and diethyl 2,5-dimethylfuran-3,4-dicarboxylate by treatment of diethyl 2,3-diacetylsuccinate with aqueous HCl is reported. The reaction is performed under organic solvent free conditions from a readily available cheap starting material.
