PRODUCTION OF ALKYL-5-SUBSTITUTED-3-FUROATE COMPOUNDS

摘要

A process is disclosed for the production of alkyl-5-substituted-3-furoate compounds of the general formula: in which R1 is an unsubstituted or substituted aryl which substituent will not affect the reaction, such as phenyl and R2 is a lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms employing alkyl-4-oxo-5-substituted-pentanoate as a starting material.
