Process for the preparation of a-methylene-&ggr;-butyrolactone and a-acetoxymethyl-&ggr;-butyrolactone
This invention pertains to a process for making a-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone by acid-catalyzed rearrangement of tetrahydro-3-furoic acid. In a further embodiment, when tetrahydro-3-furoic acid is treated with acetic anhydride and an acid catalyst, a-acetoxymethyl-gamma-butyrolactone is produced in high yield. Under basic conditions, a-acetoxymethyl-gamma-butyrolactone can readily forma-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone by the elimination of acetic acid. These reactions provide a-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone by novel routes which do not require butyrolactone or formaldehyde.
Note that a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both the forward and the reverse reactions and hence accelerates both the forward and the reverse reactions.Application In Synthesis of 3-Methyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one, you can also check out more blogs about1679-47-6
