Chemo- and regio-selective synthesis of functionalized 3(2H)-furanones by the first cyclization reactions of 1,3-bis(trimethylsiloxy)buta-1,3-dienes with α-chlorocarboxylic acid chlorides
Abstract
Reaction of 1,3-bis(trimethylsiloxy)buta-1,3-dienes with α-chlorocarboxylic acid chlorides resulted in chemo- and regio-selective formation of 6-chloro-3,5-dioxoesters which were regioselectively converted into functionalized 3(2H)-furanones.
