A synthesis of 3(2H)-furanones, a structural element of several natural products, has been developed in which silyl nitronates or nitrile oxides are condensed with vinyl ketones to form 5-acyl-2-isoxazolines which are reduced with titanous ions or catalytically to 1,4-diketo-2-ols and cyclized with sodium acetate in acetic acid.
