Abstract:Keywords: acetophenone, dibenzoylmethane, diethyl oxalate, ethyl acetate, ethyl esters of 2-hydroxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrofuran-2-ylacetic acids.2-Hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ones are successfully used in organic synthesis, especially for the preparation of biologically active compounds [1][2][3][4][5]. The known methods for the synthesis of 5-aryl-2-hydroxyfuran-3(2H)-ones generally include several stages and are not suitable for preparation [4,5]. We have developed a very simple and suitable one-step method for th… Show more
“…The present method is superior in view of the synthesis of 4 than Wu's because of a very easy handling procedure using commercially-available simple materials [31] under mild conditions, such as room temperature in air, in addition to a synthetically acceptable yield, and the reaction using various 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives are currently underway in our laboratory. A similar compound, ethyl 2-(2-hydroxy-3-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2-yl)acetate, is also known [32], which was prepared by condensation of ethyl acetate with diethyl oxalate and acetophenone.…”
The facile synthesis of 4-acetyl-2-hydroxy-2,5-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one (4) was achieved by the Mn(OAc) 3-mediated aerobic oxidation of 2,4-pentanedione or the direct reaction of Mn(acac) 3 in AcOH-TFE at room temperature under a dried air stream.
