Hydroxymethylation and alkylation of compounds of the furan, thiophene, and pyrrole series in the presence of H⁺ cations

Abstract

Published data and the results of the authors' own investigations on the transformations of O-, S-, and N-heterocyclic compounds under the conditions of acid-catalyzed hydroxymethylation and alkylation are summarized. The mechanisms and the directions of the reactions taking place under the influence of weakly and strongly acidic ion exchangers are discussed.
