Abstract

2 solvent after complete reaction and pentane extraction of the resulting solid residue, followed by the removal of pentane, afforded the ortho ester. If, on the other hand, the reaction mixture was hydrolyzed directly and then worked up or if the ortho ester was treated with the aqueous acid, the corresponding a-pyrone, 6-(carbometh-oxy)-4-tert- butyloxacyclohexa-3, 5-dien-2-one (2), was obtained. The monomet, hyl esters of tert- ...
