Unusual Conversion of 5-Hydroxy-2(5H)furanone in Aqueous Solution

Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The conversion of 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone into succinic acid in aqueous solution has been detected experimentally for the first time, indicating the possibility of forming and hydrolyzing its previously unknown tautomeric forms. The accelerating effect of increased pH values and temperature on the reaction has been established. A scheme is proposed to form succinic acid from 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone.
