Modification of Synthesis of 3-Chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX)

Addition of chlorine to methyl 3-(dichloromethyl)-4,4-dichlorocrotonate (1), a critical procedure in the total synthesis of the title compound MX, was modified by using novel catalysts.A minor modification in the purification of MX was also described.
