2-Pyrones are compounds widely present in nature and they represent interesting building blocks both in medicinal and synthetic chemistry. Due to their peculiar pharmacological activity and structure, they have attracted much attention during the last decades and several protocols for their synthesis have been developed. In this work we propose the synthesis of bio-sourced 2-pyrones, exploiting continuous-flow conditions for an easy, sustainable and fast access to these important molecules.
