Abstract

The methods for the synthesis of γ-acetopropyl alcohol (APA) used for the production of vitamin B₁, antimalarial drugs, and polymers are analyzed. Promising APS synthesis methods are the hydrogenation-hydration of sylvane, the hydrogenation of furfural, and syntheses based on allyl acetate, sodium acetoacetic ester, and γ-butyrolactone.

Keywords: allyl acetate; furfural; preparation methods; sylvane; γ-acetopropyl alcohol.
