The compound can be synthesized via the condensation of furfural with nitromethane using sodium tert-butoxide as catalyst; unlike the ubiquitous use of sodium hydroxide, ethanol and isobutylamine as catalysts in which longer reaction time (five hours), reflux (heat) and strong agitation were required before getting to ... https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322961314_Sodium_tert_Butoxide_a_Suitable_Catalyst_for_the_Synthesis_of_2-2-Nitrovinyl_furan
The brief production process comprises the following steps: adding metered 99% sodium amide into a reaction vessel, simultaneously slowly dropwise adding a certain amount of 99% anhydrous tert-butanol, stirring after dropwise adding, controlling temperature of the reaction vessel to 85 DEG C, carrying out thermal ... https://patents.google.com/patent/CN106699516A/en
