Oxidation of furan has been performed using oxone as the sole oxidant and water as a solvent, which makes this protocol practical and thus industrially applicable.10a5-Hydroxy-2(5)-furanone10aFuran oxidation10aOn-water reaction10aOxone10ascalable synthesis1 aChavan, Subhash, P.1 aKadam, Appasaheb, L.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/practical-synthesis-5-hydroxy-25h-furanone-furan
