In this work, we described the synthesis of 4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl 5-bromofuran-2-carboxylate by reacting 5-bromofuroic acid with methylparaben in the incorporation of DCC/DMAP (Steglich esterification) as coupling agents. Later on, we subsequently synthesized a series of 4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl 5-aryl furan-2-carboxylates (5a–5e) through Suzuki coupling catalyzed by palladium (0) between 4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl 5-bromofuran-2-carboxylate (3) with several substituted arylated and heteroaryl boronic acids (4). DFT calculations were computed to elucidate electronic structural features of synthesized molecules (5a–5e) and to validate these findings by correlating with theoretical and experimental spectroscopic analysis. Furthermore, geometrical optimization, thermodynamic features, as FMO orbitals, MESP maps, NLO behavior and reactivity descriptors, were also determined from the PBE0 D3BJ/def2-TZVP/SMD1,4-dioxane theory level to confirm the structural features of synthesized molecules.
