Résumé
Substituted 2-hydroxy-3-acetylfurans are synthesized by alkylation of tert-Bu acetoacetate with an ?-haloketone followed by treatment of the obtained intermediate with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). A second alkylation of the intermediate followed by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid provides access to disubstituted 2-methylfurans. For example, alkylation of tert-Bu acetoacetate with Me 5-bromolevulinate gave 2-acetyl-4-oxoheptanedioic acid 1-(1,1-dimethylethyl) 7-Me ester. Treatment of the latter with trifluoroacetic acid gave 4-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-furanpropanoic acid Me ester. [on SciFinder(R)]
