A process for the preparation of the sought-after scent 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one, and novel intermediates for the preparation of this compound. 2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one is prepared by first epoxidizing hex-3-ene-2,5-diol in the liquid phase with hydrogen peroxide to give the novel compound 3,4-epoxy-hexane-2,5-diol, which at 40.degree.-280.degree. C. is converted, by means of a catalytic amount of an acid, to the novel compound 2,5-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroxy-tetrahydro-furan. The latter is dehydrogenated by means of oxygen over a silver catalyst or copper catalyst to give the nove compound 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-3-one, which is oxidized by means of bismuth oxide, in concentrated acetic acid solution, to give the desired compound 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one.
一种制备2,5-二甲基-4-羟基-2,3-二氢呋喃-3-酮的方法,以及制备该化合物的新型中间体。首先,在液相中使用过氧化氢对己-3-烯-2,5-二醇进行环氧化反应,得到新型化合物3,4-环氧己烷-2,5-二醇,然后在40℃-280℃下通过少量酸的催化作用将其转化为新型化合物2,5-二甲基-3,4-二羟基四氢呋喃。后者经过银催化剂或铜催化剂的氧化脱氢作用得到新型化合物2,5-二甲基-4-羟基四氢呋喃-3-酮,然后在浓乙酸溶液中通过铋氧化物的氧化反应得到所需的化合物2,5-二甲基-4-羟基-2,3-二氢呋喃-3-酮。
