The Reactions of Furfuryl Alcohols with Maleic Anhydride

The reactions of furfuryl alcohols (1a) and (1b) with maleic anhydride were investigated and, for the first time, conditions defined for the production of intramolecular Diels-Alder adducts.Under basic conditions the adducts (3a,b) yield phthalides in high yield.Furfuryl alcohols (1c) and (8a) afford normal intermolecular Diels-Alder adducts with maleic anhydride.

A SYNTHETIC METHOD FOR NOVEL 1,2,3-TRISUBSTITUTED CYCLOPENTANE DERIVATIVES, 1-HYDROXYMETHYL-3-METHOXY-2-OXABICYCLOHEPTANE-7-CARBOXYLIC LACTONES

The reaction of furfuryl alcohols with maleic anhydride leads to tricyclic lactonecarboxylic acids through the sequence of esterification and intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.Anodic oxidative decarboxylation of the hydrogenated products in MeOH affords 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclopentane derivatives, viz. 1-hydroxymethyl-3-methoxy-2-oxabicycloheptane-7-syn-carboxylic lactones, potential intermediates for synthesis of iridoids.
