Synthesis of cyclopent-2-enones from furans using a nebulizer-based continuous flow photoreactor†
Abstract
A series of hydroxycyclopent-2-enones and methoxycyclopent-2-enones have been synthesized in a single operation from simple furan substrates using an innovative continuous flow nebulizer system (NebPhotOX). Photooxygenation of the furan substrates takes place in an aerosol within the NebPhotOX system.
