Abstract: | New Utilization Possibility of Furfural for the Synthesis of Self-Extinguishing Polyurethane Resins A new method for the conversion of furfural into heptane-1, 4-diol, 3, 5-dichloroheptane-1, 4-diol as well as 3, 5-dibromoheptane-1, 4-diol is presented, and the possibilities of applying of two last alcohols for the syntheses of self-extinguishing polyurethane resins are discussed. In addition, a method for the preparation of ethyl 3, 5-dichloro-4-keto- and 3, 5-dibromo-4-ketoheptanoate is described. |
