HCID 12896857, compound → Levoglucosenone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thereafter, one part by weight of the 2-hydroxy dideoxy derivative (7) is dissolved in 10 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 20 parts by weight, of an organic solvent, preferably dichloromethane, thus forming a solution. 3 to 20 parts by weight of an oxidizing reagent, preferably 5 parts by weight thereof, is added to the solution thus prepared, thereby forming a mixture. This mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 to 5 hours, thus causing a reaction in the mixture. Then, the oxidizing reagent is filtered off, and the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure, whereby levoglucosenone (8) is obtained.
