Montmorillonite KSF clay as novel and recyclable heterogeneous solid acid for the conversion of D-glycals into furan diol
A simple, efficient and environmentally benign protocol has been developed for the conversion of glycals into 2-(D-glycero-1,2-dihydroxy ethyl) furan derivatives using montmorillonite KSF as inexpensive and environmentally benign solid acid to afford excellent yields with high selectivity.
