CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF FURAN AND HYDROFURAN COMPOUNDS. 8. CONVERSIONS OF 2(5H)-FURANONE BY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN MEDIA OF VARIOUS pH
Keywords:
hydrogen peroxide, 2(5H)-furanone, succinic acid, buffer solutionsAbstract
The reaction of 2(5H)-furanone with aqueous hydrogen peroxide in media of pH within the range 1-8 have been studied in the absence of catalysts for the first time. It was discovered that at pH 3 to 8 2(5H)-furanone was almost quantitatively converted into succinic acid and reduction of the acidity of the medium facilitates the reaction. A possible scheme is considered for the conversions of 2(5H)-furanone under the reaction conditions.
