Compound (II), ethyl 2-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)acetate, was prepared by stirring freshly distilled 2-methylfuran (100 g, 1218 mmol), ethyl iodoacetate (7.66 ml, 64.1 mmol) and FeSO4·7H2O (8.20 g, 29.5 mmol) in dimethylsulfoxide (550 ml) in a three-necked 1 l flask. H2O2, 35% in water-brine (10.4 ml, 121.8 mmol), was then added dropwise at 288–303 K and the temperature was maintained with a water bath. After 5 h, 550 ml of brine were added portionwise. The product obtained was extracted four times with 200 ml of diethyl ether. The combined organic layers were washed with 500 ml of brine, and then dried over MgSO4. Filtration and evaporation in vacuo afforded 12.7 g of a brown oil. This resulting oil was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using n-hexane/AcOEt (95:5) to afford the desired product, (II), as a yellow oil (6.40 g, 38 mmol, yield 60%).
Compound (III), racemic ethyl 2-(5-methyl-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)acetate, was prepared by placing compound (II) (400 mg, 2.38 mmol) and 5% rhodium over alumina (50 mg, 0.024 mmol) in 15 ml of MeOH, under 3.8 atm pressure of hydrogen in a Parr apparatus. After 16 h, the mixture was filtered on a celite/silica 2/1 mixture. Evaporation in vacuo afforded compound (III) (316 mg, 1.83 mmol, 77%). According to NMR and GC analyses, the cis/trans ratio was 85:15.
Compound (IV) was prepared by magnetically stirring compound (III) (0.5 g, 2.9 mmol) in 15 ml of dried benzene in a three-necked 25 ml flask fitted with a reflux condenser and under an atmosphere of argon. N-Bromo succinimide (1.86 g, 10.5 mmol) was added slowly and the mixture was refluxed for 2 h under the illumination of a 200 Watt lamp. The mixture was cooled to 283 K, and the solid obtained was filtered off. Benzene was removed by evaporation in vacuo. The oil obtained was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using as eluant n-hexane/AcOEt (9:1), giving finally the brominated product (IV), as a yellow oil (250 mg, 0.7 mmol, yield 26%). As it contained a small amount of impurities, ca 100 mg were recrystallized in hexane. Colourless crystals, suitable for X-ray diffraction, were obtained.
The H atoms could all be located from difference Fourier maps. They were included in calculated positons and treated as riding atoms, with C—H distances of 0.98–1.00 Å and with Uiso(H) values of 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq(parent C atom).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

For the synthesis of bioactive molecules reduced derivatives of substituted furans have been intensively studied as synthetic building blocks. α-(Tetrahydrofuran-2-ylidene)acetates have been synthesized using widely different strategies (Bryson, 1973). They are the most common intermediates in many of the reported syntheses of nonactic acid (Ferraz & Payret-Arrua, 1998), which is the degradation product of the ionophore nonactin (Keller-Schierlein or Keller-Schlierlein & Gerlach, 1968). Nonactin, the lowest homologue of the nactin family, is used in analytical chemistry as an ammonia sensor (Bühlmann et al., 1998) and has shown antibiotic and insecticidal properties (Meyers et al., 1965; Oishi et al., 1970). In the context of our research programme on the preparation of more hydrophobic nonactin derivatives (Loiseau, 2006), we decided to study the functionalization of models of nonactic acid, for example, compound (III). Hydrophobic nonactin derivatives should have a longer life-time in the semi-permeable membrane of ammonia sensors (Pretsch et al., 1988). The life span of these electrodes is limited owing to the loss of nonactin into the aqueous solution. The synthetic strategy to prepare racemic (III) involves two steps. Firstly, compound (II) was synthesized by the radical coupling (Baciocchi et al., 1992) of 2-methylfuran, (I), with ethyl iodoacetate. The furan ring was then hydrogenated (Schmidt & Werner, 1986) to give racemic (III) [see scheme].
One of our approaches to modify compound (III) was based on the introduction of a Br atom as a functional group. Bromine can be replaced using well known reactions, such as radical or nucleophilic substitution reactions, Grignard reactions or Reformatsky enolate chemistry. We needed to develop a method to introduce selectively the Br atom in the α-position of the ester function. On bromination (Schultz et al., 1983) of (III), however, the unexpected polybrominated racemic compound (IV) was isolated. We report here on the structure of this totally new highly functionalized (tetrahydrofuran-2-ylidene)acetate.
The molecular structure of the two independent molecules (A and B) of (IV) are illustrated in Fig. 1. Selected bond distances and angles for molecule A are given in Table 1, and non-bonded intermolecular Br···O and Br···Br contacts are listed in Table 2. It can be seen that the relative configuration of the Br atom in the 3-position (C2) and of the methyl group in the 5-position (C4) of the tetrahydrofuran (THF) group is anti. The THF ring in each molecule has an envelope conformation, with atom C3 as the flap atom in molecule A and atom C13 in molecule B. The Cremer & Pople (1975) puckering parameters are Q(2) = 0.318 (4) Å and ϕ(2) = 106.6 (7)° for molecule A, and Q(2) = 0.339 (4) Å and ϕ(2) = 107.4 (7)° for molecule B. The two molecules differ only in the orientation of the ethyl acetate group with respect to the plane through the bromoylidene moiety. The relevant torsion angles about the C5—C6 (molecule A) and C15—C16 bonds (molecule B) are given in Table 1, and it can be seen that the difference is of the order of ca 4°.
In the crystal structure of (IV) the individual molecules (A and B) are linked to their symmtery-equivalent molecules by C—H···O hydrogen bonds, so forming centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers (details are given in Table 3). There are also two short Br···Br contacts (Table 2) of 3.5681 (7) and 3.6126 (7) Å. A search of of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Version 1.8, last update May 2006; Allen, 2002), indicates that such short intermolecular Br···Br distances are not unusual. These centrosymmetric dimers are further linked by a Br···O interaction of distance 3.220 (3) Å (see Table 2 and Fig. 2 for details). This interaction is also associated with the C13—H13A···O5iv interaction, leading to a Br···O···H13A angle of ca 139°. A search of the CSD indicates that O···Br interactions involving carbonyl O atoms are not uncommon; more than 600 such interactions in the range 2.80–3.37 Å have been observed previously.
The two Br atoms introduced are vinylic [the average bond distance is 1.894 (2) Å] and allylic [the average bond distance is 1.974 (2) Å]. Effectively, only arylic, vinylic and allylic halogen atoms can prevent α-elimination and can therefore be involved in modern palladium-catalyzed organometallic couplings such as the Heck or Suzuki reactions. It is highly probable that (IV) was the synthetic result of three radical eliminations followed by an elimination of HBr. The X-ray diffraction analysis of (IV) has proven the possible synthetic mechanism of formation, where the Br atom in the 3-position of the THF ring is inserted on the less hindered face, i.e. anti with respect to the methyl group in the 5-position of the THF ring.
A search of the CSD reveals only three structures containing the tetraydrofuran-2-ylidene acetate moiety (Brussani et al., 1986; Scheffler et al., 2002; Bellur et al., 2005), none of which are substitued in the α-position of the ester function. To the best of our knowledge this is also the first crystal structure analysis of a tetrahydrofuran-2-ylidene compound in which a halogen substituent is present on the THF ring.
