A process for producing furylpropargylcarbinol and a derivate thereof.

摘要

A process for producing furylpropargylcarbinol or a derivative thereof represented by the formula (I): <CHEM> wherein R<1> represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, which comprises subjecting a haloallylfurancarbinol or a derivative thereof represented by the formula (II): <CHEM> wherein R<1> represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and R<2> represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom or an iodine atom, to a dehydrohalogenation reaction with a base in a reaction solvent. Furylpropargylcarbinol and a derivative thereof produced according to the process of the present invention are very important as intermediates of agricultural chemicals, perfumes and medicines, and particularly applicable to intermediates of prallethrin.
