Highly efficient procedure for the synthesis of fructone fragrance using a novel carbon based acid

Molecules. 2010 Aug 5;15(8):5369-77. doi: 10.3390/molecules15085369.

Abstract

The novel carbon based acid has been synthesized via one-step hydrothermal carbonization of furaldehyde and hydroxyethylsulfonic acid. A highly efficient procedure for the synthesis of fructone has been developed using the novel carbon based acid. The results showed that the catalyst possessed high activity for the reaction, giving a yield of over 95%. The advantages of high activity, stability, reusability and low cost for a simple synthesis procedure and wide applicability to various diols and beta-keto esters make this novel carbon based acid one of the best choices for the reaction.
