Methyl 2-furoate → Methyl tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate

関与物質

反応手順

Methyl furoate (75 g, 0.595 mole) was dissolved in MeOH (150 ml), and poured into a Parr bottle. Air was replaced with argon, and then 10% Pd/C (2.5 g) was added. The atmosphere was replaced with H2 and methyl furoate was hydrogenated at 40 psi for 48 hours. The reaction was filtered through celite pad, and the pad was washed with ether. The filtrate and the wash were combined and distilled to give the title compound (71 g, 0.546 mole, 59° C./5.1 mmHg, 92%) as a colorless liquid.
