Abstract
A practical four-step method for the synthesis of mumefural from malic acid is described. The key step of this method involves the alkylation of acetal-protected malic acid with bromoacetate, followed by condensation with 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural. Some of the 13C NMR data for our products differed from those previously reported, and further analysis indicated that the previously reported assignments were partly erroneous.
