Abstract: | By reductive amination, starting from furfural, 5-methylfurfural, -(2-furyl)acrolein, and monoethanolamine, we have obtained N-furfurylaminoethanol, N-(5-methyl-2-furfuryl)aminoethanol, and N-1-(-furyl)-3-propyl]aminoethanol. By reductive amination combined with the subsequent hydrogenation of the furan ring we have obtained N-tetrahydrofurfurylaminoethanol and N-(5-methyltetrahydro-2-furfuryl)aminoethanol.For part XXXIII, see 1]. |
