The chemical properties of alicyclic heterocycles are similar to those of the corresponding chain compounds. Compound: 5-Methylfuran-2(3H)-one, is researched, Molecular C5H6O2, CAS is 591-12-8, about Scalable synthesis and polymerization of a β-angelica lactone derived monomer, the main research direction is angelica lactone monomer ROMP film property.Category: pyrimidines.
Bio-based levulinic acid is easily ring-closed to α-angelica lactone (α-AL). The α-AL can be isomerized to the conjugated β-AL under the influence of base, but since this is an equilibrium mixture it is very hard to devise a scalable process that would give pure β-AL. This problem was circumvented by distilling the equilibrium mixture to obtain a 90 : 10 mixture of β- and α-AL in 88% yield. This mixture was used for Diels-Alder reactions on 3 terpenes and on cyclopentadiene in up to 100 g scale. The latter DA adduct was subjected to a ROMP reaction catalyzed by the Grubbs II catalyst. The resulting polymer has some similarities to poly-norbornene but is more polar. The polymer can be processed into films with very good transparency.
As far as I know, this compound(591-12-8)Category: pyrimidines can be applied in many ways, which is helpful for the development of experiments. Therefore many people are doing relevant researches.
