Abstract
3-(2-Furyl)propenoates IV-VIII were obtained by treatment of 5-phenoxy-2-furylmethylene derivatives I-III with alcoholic hydrogen chloride in one step. The probable transition mechanism of synthons I-III into the 2,4,5-trisubstituted furans is presented. The geometric isomers E-IV, Z-V and Z-VI, isolated in pure form, were transformed into the corresponding acids E-IX, Z-IX and E-X by base-catalyzed hydrolysis. Acid hydrolysis of the 1,3-diketone I afforded (4Z,6Z)-6-acetyl-7-hydroxy-2,4,6-octatrien-4-olide (XI). Structure of the products was verified by spectral (IR, UV, NMR and mass) methods.
