Abstract
The relative stability of 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran and the tautomeric 4-hydroxybutanal was determined by the semi-empirical AM1 method. It was concluded that the cyclic tautomer predominates in the gas phase at 25°C. Vapor-phase dehydration of 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran in the presence of porcelain and silica gel L leads to a quantitative yield of 2,3-dihydrofuran. Authors: A. Lebedev, L. Leite, M. Fleisher, and V.
