Phosphoric Acid → 4-Ketotridec-2-enoic acid

関与物質

反応手順

A mixture of 2-undecanone (10 g, 58.7 mmol), glyoxylic acid monohydrate (5.15 g, 56 mmol) and 85% phosphoric acid (10 ml) was warmed at 80° for 18 hours. On cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with ethyl ether/dichloromethane (50 ml each) and washed thoroughly with brine. Evaporation of the dried (magnesium sulphate) organic phase gave a yellow oil which on crystallization from ethyl ether/petroleum ether gave 4-ketotridec-2-enoic acid as colorless prisms.
