Industrially relevant intermediates such as malonic acid, malonates and 3-oxopropionates can be easily accessed by ozonolysis of α-angelica lactone, derived from the platform chemical levulinic acid. The roles of the solvent and of the quenching conditions are of key importance for the outcome of the reaction.
