Butanedione → 3-Hydroxy-3-phenylbutan-2-one

참여 물질

반응 단계

The Grignard reagent (6.13 moles) was added to 480 g of 2,3-butanedione dissolved in 1.95 L of THF and 3.25 L of PhMe while maintaining the temperature at -6° C.±4° C. After the reaction was complete, it was quenched with 5% sulfuric acid to pH=4.5±1, then worked up as in Example I to give 689 g of crude product. Vacuum distillation (88°-93° C., 1.2-3 mm Hg) gave 3-hydroxy-3-phenylbutan-2-one in 56.6% yield.
