참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of 88 g of 3-ketobutan-1-ol, 150 g of diethyl ketone and 0.1 g of hydroquinone is dripped in the course of two hours into a mixture of 250 g of diethyl ketone and 10 g of a 30% by weight solution of sodium methylate in methanol which is boiling under reflux. The reaction mixture is then heated under reflux for another two hours. 37 g of water is removed from the reaction mixture by entrainment during the reaction. The whole is processed as described in Example 8. 73 g of 2,3,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one and 10 g of 4-methyl-3-ethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one are obtained. The total yield of cyclohexenone is 60% with reference to 3-ketobutan-1-ol.
