PROCESS FOR PREPARING 1*44DIOL BY HYDROLYSISSHYDROGENATION OF 22ALKOXYYTETRAHYDROFURAN

摘要

2-ALKOXYTETRAHYDROFURANS ARE CONVERTED TO 1,4-DIOLS UNDER HYDROLYSIS-HYDROGENATION CONDITIONS. The method may be coupled with the synthesis of 2-alkoxytetrahydrofurans to provide a highly efficient, two-step conversion of allylic alcohols to butanediols.
