    Abstract

    Treatment of acetonide protected 4,5-dihydroxy-2-chloroglycidic ester or its rearrangement product, the acetonide protected 4,5-dihydroxy-3-chloro-2-oxo ester, with magnesium halides gave 4-halo-3-hydroxy-2-pyrone in excellent to reasonable yields in one pot. The mechanism of this novel one pot rearrangement-cyclization reaction is also proposed.
