Abstract

Synthesis of the &Furanone 7. The procedure described for the preparation of compound 2 was followed to synthesize the@-furanone 7. From the compound 6 (90 mg, 0.34 mmol), after purification on a Florisil (5 g) column [n-pentane-ethyl acetate (95: 5 vol) as eluant], was obtained pure 7: 65 mg (81% yield); oil; IR (liquid film) 1700, 1625 cm-';'H NMR (CDClJ 6 4.40 (8,
