Yamaguchi, Sho published the artcileTin-catalyzed conversion of biomass-derived triose sugar and formaldehyde to α-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone, Category: tetrahydrofurans, the publication is Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom) (2014), 50(35), 4600-4602, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
The direct conversion of biomass-derived 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and formaldehyde to α-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone (HBL) was achieved through the use of tin(iv) chloride and a small amount of water and the yield reached up to 70%. The reaction mechanism was also investigated by incorporating d2-formaldehyde into the reaction mixtures
Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom) published new progress about 19444-84-9. 19444-84-9 belongs to tetrahydrofurans, auxiliary class Tetrahydrofuran,Ester,Alcohol, name is 3-Hydroxydihydrofuran-2(3H)-one, and the molecular formula is C14H10O4S2, Category: tetrahydrofurans.
