2-Furoyl chloride is a corrosive liquid boiling at 173 °C, which is more irritating to the eyes than benzoyl chloride.[1] 2-Furoyl chloride is a useful pharmaceutical intermediate and is used in the synthesis of mometasone furoate, an antiinflammatory prodrug used in the treatment of skin disorders, hay fever and asthma.[2]

Synthesis

2-Furoyl chloride was prepared in 1924 by Gelissen by refluxing 2-furoic acid in excess thionyl chloride on a water bath.[1]

Applications

Pharmaceutical Intermediate

2-Furoyl chloride was reacted with mometasone in chilled methylene chloride solution in the presence of triethylamine. Crude mometasone 17-(2-furoate), commonly known as, mometasone furoate was obtained via filtration in 82% isolated yield.[2]

Similarly, 2-furoyl chloride was reacted with 6α,9α-difluoro-11β-hydroxy-16α-methyl-3-one androsta-1,4-diene-17β-thiocarboxylic acid in the presence of triethylamine, followed by fluoromethylation, yielding fluticasone furoate, a corticosteroid for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.[3]

Diloxanide furoate (Furamide, Amicline), a lumenal amoebicide used in the treatment of amoebiasis and amoebic dysentery, has been synthesized from the relatively simple intermediates: p-bromophenol, methylamine, dichloroacetyl chloride and 2-furoyl chloride, through an amination, acylation and esterification sequence.[4]

Reaction of 2-furoyl chloride with sodium hydrosulfide gave 2-furancarbothioic acid, an intermediate to Ceftiofur (Excenel), a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic.[5]

Acylation of the product of the reaction of 2-chloropyrazine and 1-(2-phenylethyl)-4-piperidinone oxime with 2-furoyl chloride gave mirfentanil, a fentanyl analog with analgesic activity.[6]
