Procedure

Following the general methods outlined by Weller and Luellen (see above), to a solution of 16.6 g (0.1 mole) of 2,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde 1 and 20 ml (0.2 mole) of 2-acetylfuran 2 in 100 ml of methanol was added 5.5 g of potassium hydroxide previously dissolved in a small amount of methanol. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux and then stirred overnight at 55° C. The solution was then poured into water acidified with 1N HCl and extracted with CH2Cl2. The CH2Cl2 extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and the solvents removed at high vacuum. The resulting amber oil solidified on standing overnight affording 36.7 g of crude dione 3.
