AbstractA simple preparation of ethyl 2,5‐dimethylfuran‐3‐carboxylate ( 3 ), 2,5‐dimethylfuran‐3,4‐dicarboxylic acid ( 4 ), and diethyl 2,5‐dimethylfuran‐3,4‐dicarboxylate ( 5 ) by treatment of diethyl 2,3‐diacetylsuccinate ( 2 ) with aqueous HCl is reported. The reaction is performed under organic solvent free conditions from a readily available cheap starting material. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2009).
