Abstract

1,170,222. Tetrahydrofurans. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. 10 June, 1968, No. 27444/68. Heading C2C. A tetrahydrofuran of the general formula in which each R represents a hydrogen atom or a C 1 -C 5 alkyl group is prepared by (a) contacting a conjugated diolefin of general formula in an anhydrous, or substantially anhydrous, liquid medium, with a metal salt of an aliphatic carboxylic acid having 2-6 carbon atoms, together with a compound of divalent palladium, or with a divalent palladium salt of such a carboxylic acid alone; (b) separating from the reaction mixture one or more olefinically unsaturated 1,4-glycol acylates having the general formula in which at least one of the radicals R<SP>1</SP> and R<SP>2</SP> represents an acyl group having 2-6 carbon atoms, the other being the same or a hydrogen atom; (c) hydrogenating the ester obtained in (b) to give a saturated 1,4-glycol mono- and/or diacylate; and (d) converting the 1,4-glycol mono- and/or diacylate into the desired tetrahydrofuran, either directly by the action of an acidic catalyst in the presence of water or indirectly by first hydrolysing the mono- and/or diacylate and subsequently allowing the cyclization into the desired tetrahydrofuran to take place by methods known per se.
