Abstract
Preparation and Some Reactions of cis,cis-2,4-Di-tert-butylmuconic Anhydride cis,cis-2,4-Di-tert-butylmuconic anhydride (1) was prepared by the Baeyer-Villiger reaction from 3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone with monoperphthalic acid in 76% yield. It is relatively stable against water and reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide to give 2,4-di-tert-butyl-2,5-dihydro-5-oxo-2-furanacetic acid (2), with methanol to form the corresponding ester 3 and with dry ammonia to yield the corresponding amide 4. All compounds were characterized spectroscopically.
