✦ Synopsis


Treatment of methyl 2,3-pentadienoate, 3, with bromine in carbon tetrachloride affords a complex mixture. whose main products are methyl (g)-and fZ)-3,4-dibromo-2-pentenoate, 9 and 10, and I-bromo-5methyl-5E-furan-2zone, 4. The mechanism of formation of these and other minor compounds is discussed. Hydrolysis of the crude mixture in the presence of barium hydroxide affords lactone 4 in 30% overall yield.
