Lactone on treatment with various nucleophiles gave 4- 2(5H) furanone; - - - substituted-3-bromo-furanone derivatives. These derivatives were tested 2,3 dibromo 3 formyl for their short term cytotoxic activity and three of them were found active. acrylic acid; -d - -o - Compound 4-(2-Aminoanilino)-3-bromo-2(5H)-furanone 5 was found to be 2,3 ibromo 4 xo -b most active against DLA and HeLa cell lines. 2 utenoic acid. 2012 Trade Science Inc. - INDIA INTRODUCTION Under basic conditions the reactions proceeded with the substitution of the chlorine atom(s) by 2(5H)-Furanone derivatives are a large family of arylthiogroup(s), while in an acidic medium the hydroxyl heterocycles that include synthetically useful com- group at C5 was substituted.
