Abstract
It was found that ethyl 4,4-dimethoxy-2-(phenylthio)butyrate and 3-tosylpropanal ethylene acetal are useful starting materials for the preparation of 3-substituted furans. Several 3-substituted furans, including dendrolasin [3-(4,8-dimethyl-3,7-nonadienyl)-furan], were prepared by the reaction of these compounds with alkyl halides in good yields.
