Abstract
A novel and efficient procedure has been developed to synthesize furan-2-carboxylate derivatives through a one-pot condensation of chloroacetate derivatives, 1,3-diketones, and chloroform in the presence of magnetic sodium aluminate 40 wt.% (Aluminate NP-40). The synthesized heterogeneous catalyst can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by applying an external magnetic field. Magnetic aluminate NP catalysts provide a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective method for synthesizing furan-2-carboxylate derivatives. Additionally, the catalyst is stable and can be reused multiple times without losing its catalytic properties. High product yields in a short experimental time and easy workup are other advantages of the present method. All synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy.‎‎
