Abstract

The photocatalytic oxidation of a furan to a hydroxybutenolide in good yield is the first step of a one-pot synthesis of a γ-substituted α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactone in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([HMIM][Cl]).

Key words

ionic liquids - singlet oxygen oxidation - butenolide synthesis
