Reaction of aromatic aldehydes or hetero-aromatic aldehydes with 3-chloro-3-methyl-2-butanone in ethanolic KOH at room temperature gave 3,3-dimethyl-5-aryltetrahydro-2-furanone as a major product.The reaction can be tentatively explained by the combination of Favorskii rearrangement and aldol reaction.
