A new synthetic route for obtaining -6-hydroxy-6-methyl-4-enyl-2H-pyran-3-one, a useful synthonfor the preparation of biologically active compounds, has been developed from the bio-based platformderivative (2,5-bis-hydroxymethylfuran) BHMF. The reaction occurs with good selectivity in water, undermild conditions and employing an heterogeneous recyclable acid (Amberlyst 15®) as catalyst, avoidingthe use of oxidizing agents. The reaction provides access to poly-oxygenated compounds characterizedby a molecular motif commonly found in many natural products.

Abstract
A new synthetic route for obtaining -6-hydroxy-6-methyl-4-enyl-2H-pyran-3-one, a useful synthonfor the preparation of biologically active compounds, has been developed from the bio-based platformderivative (2,5-bis-hydroxymethylfuran) BHMF. The reaction occurs with good selectivity in water, undermild conditions and employing an heterogeneous recyclable acid (Amberlyst 15®) as catalyst, avoidingthe use of oxidizing agents. The reaction provides access to poly-oxygenated compounds characterizedby a molecular motif commonly found in many natural products.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
