Standard molar enthalpies of formation of 2-furancarbonitrile, 2-acetylfuran,and 3-furaldehyde

The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar energies of combustion of 2-furancarbonitrile, 2-acetylfuran, and 3-furaldehyde were measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry; the Calvet high-temperature microcalorimetry was used to measure the enthalpies of vaporization of these liquid compounds. The standard molar enthalpies of formation of the three compounds, in the gaseous phase, at T = 298.15 K, have been derived from the corresponding standard molar enthalpies of formation in the liquid phase and the standard molar enthalpies of phase transition, as (106.8 ± 1.1) kJ · mol^?1, ?(207.4 ± 1.3) kJ · mol^?1, and ?(151.9 ± 1.1) kJ · mol^?1, for 2-furancarbonitrile, 2-acetylfuran, and 3-furaldehyde, respectively.Standard molar enthalpies of formation are discussed in terms of the isomerization ortho meta. Enthalpic increment values of the introduction of the functional groups –CN, –CHO, and –COCH₃ were also compared with some other heterocycles; i.e. thiophene and pyridine.
