Svn. Raju et al., POLYMER-ANCHORED VANADIUM(V) CATALYST FOR THE EPOXYCYCLIZATION OF HYDROXYMETHYL FURANS WITH TERT-BUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (4), 1996, pp. 202-203
A new polymer-anchored vanadium(v) catalyst (3) has been shown to cata
lyse the epoxycyclization of the hydroxymethyl furans 4 and 6 with 70%
tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) under ambient conditions, leading to
the formation of the hydropyranone derivatives 5 and 7.
