실험 절차
A solution consisting of 53 wt % of 3-(2'-acetoxyethyl)-dihydro-2(3H)furanone, 39 wt % of methanol, and 8 wt % of water was evaporated at a rate 25 g per hour and the vapors were passed at a temperature of 250° C. over 90 g of aluminum oxide catalyst (diameter 1.5 mm) in a tubular reactor. The gaseous effluent was condensed in cold traps and analyzed by gas chromatography. The experiment was carried out for a period of 12 h and the total amount of starting material used was 600 g. 62 mol % of methyl tetrahydropyran-4-carboxylate was formed, plus 20 mol % of 3-(2'-methoxyethyl)-dihydro-2(3H)furanone and 3 mol % of 5-oxaspiro-[2.4]heptan-4-one. The conversion of 3-(2'-acetoxyethyl)-dihydro-2(3H)furanone was better than 99%.
