Abstract

A process for the preparation of the enol lactone of 2-oxocyclohexylidene acetic acid wherein PA1 (i) glyoxylic acid is allowed to react with cyclohexanone in the presence of a halogen acid in order to obtain a crude reaction product B1, then PA1 (ii) said crude reaction product B1 is allowed to react, after solubilisation in an organic solvent, in the presence of a strong acid soluble in said organic solvent or of strongly acid resins, in order to obtain the enol lactone of 2-oxocyclohexylidene acetic acid which is isolated if desired, and application to the preparation of 2-coumaranone.
