New Furan Based Organic Building Blocks

New Furan Based Organic Building Blocks

Furan based synthons are finding new uses in organic and polymer synthesis applications including the pharmaceutical, flavors & fragrances, graphic arts and organic intermediates industries.

Polysciences Inc. is pleased to announce a new family of furan derivatives including the difficult-to-find 3rd position substituted and disubstituted furans. Our unique boronic acid or halogen functional furan building blocks are appropriate for use in “Suzuki Synthesis” carbon-carbon bond forming reactions catalyzed by palladium.

A partial summary of materials is shown below. Materials available as standard stock without a 3 week lead time are shown with an (*).
