The parent framework of furo[2,3‐c]pyridine has been synthesized. 3‐Furoic acid chloride ( 2 ) was reduced with bis(triphenylphosphine) copper(1) tetrahydroborate to afford 3‐furaldehyde ( 3 ) which was condensed with malonic acid to give β‐(3‐furyl)acrylic acid ( 4 ). The acrylic acid 4 was converted to the acid azide ( 5 ), which in turn was cyclized to give furo[2,3‐c]pyridin‐7(6 H )‐one ( 6 ) by heating at 180° in diphenylmethane. The pyridone 6 was chlorinated with phosphorus oxychloride, followed by reduction with zinc and acetic acid to give furo[2,3‐ c ]pyridine ( 8 ).
