Abstract

A series of γ-(acyloxy)-β-ketophosphonates has been synthesized, either from the corresponding a-iodo keto ester by an Arbuzov reaction or by acylation of an alkylphosphonate anion. When treated with potassium carbonate in DMF, these γ-(acyloxy)-β-ketophosphonates undergo an intramolecular Wadsworth-Emmons-type condensation to afford 3(2H)-furanones, providing a new route to this heterocyclic system. © 1986, American Chemical Society.
