Abstract
Photosensitized oxidation of 3-methoxycarbonylfurans (1) at –15 °C yields quantitatively furan endo-peroxides (2) which are stable at this temperature under strictly anhydrous conditions. At room temperature in absence of solvent and moisture, within 15–20 days, they give epoxides (3) as the major products. Reduction, methanolysis, and hydrolysis of the endo-peroxides (2) have been investigated.Keywords
