Organic synthesis in water: Green protocol for the synthesis of 2-amino furan derivatives

Aldehyde, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) and cyclohexyl isocyanide undergo smooth coupling in water to produce the corresponding 2-aminofuran derivatives in good yields. Water helps to avoid the use of highly toxic and environmentally unfavorable solvents for this conversion.
