PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 5-BENZYL-3-FURFURYL ALCOHOL

摘要

Synthesis process of 5-benzyl-3-furfuryl alcohol including the reduction reaction with NaBH4 or with sodium dihydro bis- (2-methoxyethoxy) aluminium hydride of 3-benzyl-5-hydroxymethyl-5-carboxyalkyl isoxazoline to give 3-benzyl-5,5-bis (hydroxymethyl) isoxazoline which, through subsequent reduction in the presence of a weak protic acid and consequent rearrangement with strong aqueous acid, gives 5-benzyl-3-furfuryl alcohol.
