-
, (2020/03/23)
The present invention is directed to the preparation of phthalic anhydride compounds and the intermediate phthalide compounds. In particular, the invention is directed to an improved bio-based route from furanic compounds to phthalic anhydride compounds by reacting furfuryl alcohol (i.e. 2-hydroxymethylfuran) or an analogue thereof having a nucleophilic atom on the 2-methyl, with a dienophile comprising an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl comprising an α'-leaving group. The inventions further involved preparation of phthalic anhydride compounds, phthalic acid compounds and reduction products of the intermediate phthalide compounds.

Page/Page column 24, (2019/11/19)
The invention is directed to a process for the ring-opening of a cycloadduct of formula I obtainable from a reaction of a furanic compound and a diene, said process comprising contacting the cycloadduct with an acidic mixture comprising sulfuric acid and an activating agent to obtain a ring-opened product. The present invention is particularly directed a continuous process.
