Preparation of 5-(2-Benzoyloxymethyl-4-methoxy)phenyl-2(5H)-furanone

5-Phenyl-2(5H)-furanone (11), 5-(2-methyl-4-methoxy)phenyl-2(5H)-furanone (16) and 5-(2-benzoyloxymethyl-4-methoxy)phenyl-2(5H)-furanone (6) have been prepared from γ-phenyl-γ-butyrolactone (9), γ-(2-methyl-4-methoxy)phenyl-γ-butyrolactone (14) and γ-(2-benzoyloxymethyl-4-methoxy)phenyl-γ-butyrolactone (4) respectively employing the method of Sharpless. 11 has been converted into 4-oxo-4-phenylbutanoic acid (7) on treatment with alkali.During the Wolff-Kishner reduction of 4-oxo-4-(2-methyl-2-methoxyphenyl)butanoic acid (12) the demethylated product 4-(2-methyl-4-hydroxy)phenylbutanoic acid (19) has also been obtained.
