Easy synthesis of 2-hydroxy-3-methylcyclopent-2-enone

Abstract

A new, easy synthetic route to 2-hydroxy-3-methyl cyclopent-2-enone from 5-methylfurfuryl alcoho is described, in which the key intermediates are derivatives of 2,5-dimethoxy tetrahydrofuran prepared from the anodic oxidation of the corresponding derivatives of furan, followed by hydrogenation.
