反応手順

A mixture of 14.8 g of glyoxylic acid (in 18.5 cc of water) and 22 g of 2-acetylfuran is heated at 125°-135° C. for about 5 hours; the water is removed as it forms via a Dean Stark tube. The mass cyrstallizes over about a 16 hour period and is dissolved in 600 cc of ethyl acetate and extracted into 600 cc of 10% sodium carbonate. The aqueous solution is treated with activated charcoal and a filter aid, and then filtered. It is made strongly acid with 20% HCl and the solid which precipitates is extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate is dried over MgSO4 and removed to yield a solid residue which is dissolved in 100 cc hot acetonitrile and allowed to cool for about 16 hours. The solid is filtered to yield 7.2 g of the title compound, melting point 153°-155° C.
