The products of the Stevens 3,2-rearrangement of ammonium salts containing methyl and other (ethyl, propyl, butyl) alkyl groups along with 3-phenylprop-2-ynyl, under the reaction conditions undergo, roughly by half, intramolecular hydride shift with intermediate formation of immonium salts. The latter convert into enamino esters whose hydrolysis involving alkyl groups at the nitrogen atom gives rise to lower aliphatic aldehydes and the corresponding amino esters. Treatment with dilute hydrochloric acid of the reaction mixture containing enamino esters results in formation of hydrogenated and nonhydrogenated alkyl esters of α-keto acids. This mixture was reacted with concentrated hydrochloric acid to obtain 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-phenylfuran-2(5H)-one from the nonhydrogenated keto ester and to isolate pure the hydrogenated keto ester.
