| 摘要 |
<p>The invention is directed to a process for the preparation of 5-alkyl-4-hydroxy-3[2H]furanones and/or 2,5-dialkyl-4-hydroxy-3[2H]furanones, wherein each alkyl group independently has one to six carbon atoms, comprising; (a) saponification of an ester selected from the group of 3,4-dihydroxyfurans substituted at the 2- and/or 5-position with one or two carbalkoxy groups, wherein each alkoxy group independently contains one to six carbon atoms, and optionally substituted at the 2- or 5-position with an alkyl group with one to six carbon atoms, or tautomeric forms or keto-enol isomers thereof; (b) subsequent treatment with one or two alkylation reagents which independently may have one to six carbon atoms; (c) subsequent recovery of the 5-alkyl-4-hydroxy-3[2H]furanones and/or 2,5-dialkyl-4-hydroxy-3[2H]furanones. t</p> |
