Abstract:  Synthesis of alkyl 2-(5-nitrofuryl) ketones (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl) and aryl 2-(5-nitrofuryl) ketones (aryl = phenyl, 2-thienyl, 5-nitro-2-pyrrolyl) by nitration of the corresponding alkyl and aryl 2-furyl ketones with acetyl nitrate is described. The wavenumber values of stretching vibration of the carbonyl group of alkyl 2-(5-nitrofuryl) ketones correlated with the Tafťs constants σ*. The synthesized compounds were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities.
