A variety of cyanohydrin THP ethers were readily prepared from carbonyl compounds with trimethylsilyl cyanide and tetrahydropyran-2-yl acetate under the influence of a catalytic amount of iron(III) triflate in a convenient one-pot procedure. This method was also effective to prepare O-protected cyanohydrins by various acetal-type protective groups.
Metabolites of the Higher Fungi. Part 19. Serpenone, 3-Methoxy-4-methyl-5-prop-1-enylfuran-2(5H)-one, a new γ-Butyrolactone from the Fungus Hypoxylon serpens (Barrons strain) (Persoon ex Fries)Kickx

Culture solutions of the fungus Hypoxylon serpens (Barrons strain) contain a new butyrolactone as the major metabolite, which has been identified as 3-methoxy-4-methyl-5-prop-1-enylfuran-2(5H)-one (2),and small quantities of the reduced analogue, 3-methoxy-4-methyl-5-propylfuran-2(5H)-one (3); the structures have been established by synthesis of compound (3).A new rapid synthesis of the isomeric 4-methoxy-3,5-disubstituted analogues is described and the two groups of compounds are compared spectroscopically.
