Abstract

Abstract Methyl 5‐alkoxy‐2‐furancarboxylates, methyl 5‐alkylthio‐2‐furancarboxylates and methyl 5‐phenylthio‐2‐furancarboxylate were prepared by nucleophilic substitution of methyl 5‐nitro‐2‐furancarboxylates. Also, 5‐phenoxyfuran‐2‐nitriles and 5‐phenylthiofuran‐2‐nitriles were prepared.
