Catalytic oxidation of furan and hydrofuran compounds 8. Synthesis of 5-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-3-oxo-2(3H)-furanone by the oxidation of furfural in the system aqueous H2O2-VOSO4-ethanol
摘要:
The special features of the oxidation of furfural by aqueous hydrogen peroxide in the presence of vanadyl sulfate and ethanol has been studied for the first time. It has been established that this reaction proceeds with the formation of previously unknown oxidation products of furan compounds, one of which was isolated from the reaction mixture as the ethyl ester. It was established by spectral methods and qualitative reactions that this product is 5-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-3-oxo-2(3H)-furanone.
