General description

2-Ethylfuran undergoes tetraphenylporphin-photosensitized oxygenation in non-polar aprotic solvents via (4+2)-cycloaddition of singlet oxygen to yield the corresponding monomeric unsaturated secondary ozonide.

Application

2-Ethylfuran was used to investigate the gas phase products formed from the Cl atoms initiated reactions of 2-ethylfuran by in situ long-path FTIR absorption spectroscopy. It was also used in the synthesis of 4-oxo-(E)-2-hexenal via ring opening reaction using aqueous N-bromosuccinimide.

Absolute photoionization cross sections of the molecules 2-ethylfuran, 2-acetylfuran and furfural, including partial ionization cross sections for the dissociative ionized fragments, are measured for the first time. These measurements are important because they allow fuel quantification via photoionization mass spectrometry
