Diethyl Ether → 5-Methyl-2-hepten-4-ol

참여 물질

반응 단계

2-Butylmagnesium bromide is prepared from 24.32 g of magnesium filings and 137 g of 2-bromobutane in 100 ml of ether. 56 g of crotonaldehyde dissolved in 60 ml of ether are added dropwise to the solution at 0° to 10° C. The mixture is then boiled for 2 hours under reflux temperature. Thereafter it is cooled, the batch decomposed with ice water/hydrochloric acid and the product extracted, neutralized and distilled. 56 g of 5-methyl-hept-2-en-4-ol of boiling point 70° C./18 mb are obtained. To 52 g of this alcohol there is slowly added a mixture of 40.34 g of sodium dichromate and 54.1 g of sulphuric acid, while cooling with ice. After a further hour's reaction at room temperature, the batch is extracted with ether, the organic phase is washed until neutral, the solvent stripped off and the crude product distilled. Redistillation using a slotted tube column gives 17.2 g of 5-methyl-hept-2-en-4-one of boiling point 72° C./20 mb.
