Abstract

In this study, an effective and mild method for the synthesis of 6-trimethylsilyl-α-pyrone was successfully developed. 6-Trimethylsilyl-α-pyrone, a very important intermediate in organic synthesis, was mildly synthesized from pyrane derivative via an aerobic oxidation at room temperature, without any solvents and catalysts. Furthermore, the possible mechanism of the reaction was proposed.
