Sixteen 5-(4'-alkoxybiphenyl-4-yloxy)-3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones are synthesized via the direct dehydrative etherification reactions of 4'-alkoxybiphenyl-4-ol with mucochloric acid and mucobromic acid, respectively, using sulfuric acid as catalyst at reflux in toluene from 30% to 58% yields (mostly over 47%). The moderate yields may be due to that this acid-catalyzed etherification should be a SN2 nucleophilic substitution reaction. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds are elucidated and confirmed by FTIR, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. The synthetic procedures afford not only an important strategy for the synthesis of 2(5H)-furanone derivatives having potential bioactivity, but also a simple method for the synthesis of aromatic ether from two different hydroxyl compounds.
