Abstract
2-5-Furan dicarboxylic acid, 1a, was synthesized from mucic acid and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde, 1e, was synthesized from sucrose. These materials were used to synthesize compounds 1b, 1c, 1d, 1f and 1g. The 2,5-disubstituted dihydrofurans 2a-c, 3a-c, 4a-b and the 2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans 5a-f and 6a-d were prepared in addition to 2,4-dioxo-3,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane and 2-oxo-3,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane.
