참여 물질

반응 단계

Under an atmosphere of argon, 90 g of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone dimer and 250 mg of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine were dissolved in 250 ml of pyridine. To the resulting solution, 225 ml of acetic anhydride was added droopowise at room temperature over 1 hour. After the resulting liquid was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, thereto was added 50 ml of methanol and the resulting liquid was further stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was subjected to a recrystallization from ether-petroleum ether to give 190 g of the desired compound.
