Described is a method of making sorbic acid, pentadiene, or 3-penten-2-one. The method includes partially hydrogenating 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone (HMP) to yield 5,6-dihydro-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (4-DHMMP). Then, if 3-penten-2-one is desired, thermally decomposing the 4-DHMMP to yield 3-penten-2-one. If sorbic acid or pentadiene are desired, the 4-DHMMP is hydrogenated to yield 4-hydroxy-6-methyltetrahydro-2-pyrone (4-HMTHP). The 4-HMTHP is then dehydrated by contacting it with a solid acid catalyst to yield parasorbic acid (PSA). The PSA can then be ring-opened by contacting it with a solid acid catalyst. The reaction conditions of the ring-opening reaction can be controlled to yield sorbic acid and/or pentadiene.
描述了一种制备山梨酸、戊二烯或3-戊烯-2-酮的方法。该方法包括部分氢化4-羟基-6-甲基-2-吡喃酮(HMP)以得到5,6-二氢化-4-羟基-6-甲基-2H-吡喃-2-酮(4-DHMMP)。然后,如果需要3-戊烯-2-酮,则热分解4-DHMMP以得到3-戊烯-2-酮。如果需要山梨酸或戊二烯,则将4-DHMMP氢化以得到4-羟基-6-甲基四氢-2-吡喃酮(4-HMTHP)。然后,通过与固体酸催化剂接触使4-HMTHP脱水以得到对山梨酸(PSA)。然后可以通过与固体酸催化剂接触使PSA发生环开启反应。环开启反应的反应条件可以控制以得到山梨酸和/或戊二烯。
