Autoignition=2-Pyrone (α-pyrone or pyran-2-one) is an
unsaturated cyclic chemical compound with the molecular formula C5H4O2. It isisomer ic with4-pyrone .2-Pyrone is used in
organic synthesis as a building block for more complex chemical structures because it may participate in a variety ofcycloaddition reaction s to form bicycliclactone s. For example, it readily undergoesDiels-Alder reaction s withalkyne s producing, upon loss ofcarbon dioxide , substitutedbenzene s. [Woodard BT, Posner G H. "Recent Advances in Diels-Alder Cycloadditions Using 2-Pyrones." "Advances in Cycloaddition". 1999, 5, 47-83.] . The Gogte Synthesis (1938) is a method for the alkylation of certain pyrones with acid chlorides Fact|date=March 2008.2-Pyrone also forms the core structure of a variety of natural organic compounds. For example, the
coumarin s are an important class of compounds which are benzo-fused derivatives of 2-pyrone.References
