Introduction | 2(5h)-furanone, also known as γ-crotonolactone, 5h-furan-2-one, etc., is an organic heterocyclic compound, is the simplest crotonolactone, colorless liquid at room temperature, its structural formula is γ-crotonyl lactone, which is a precursor material of many active molecules of drugs, and its structure is commonly found in bioactive molecules, such as antibiotics, antibiotics, anti-tumor and antiviral drugs. |
preparation | at room temperature, add 1(26g,0.2 mol) to acetone (1000 mL) A molar concentration of 0.2 mol is formed in the solution. H2O(10 mL) was added to the L-1 organic solution, and hydrochloric acid (1 mL) was added dropwise under vigorous stirring. After addition, stirring was continued for 12 hours at room temperature, carefully add solid sodium bicarbonate and neutral, diatomite filtration, dichloromethane washing, combined filtrate, vacuum distillation to remove most of the organic solvent, add water, aqueous layer is extracted with dichloromethane, combined organic layer, anhydrous magnesium sulfate dried, filtered, the filtrate was distilled at atmospheric pressure to remove the solvent, and the remaining liquid column chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol) gave 2(5h)-furanone 7(14g,82%). |
biological activity | 2(5h)-Furanone is an endogenous metabolite. |
