Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 13.51 g of 2,4,6-triphenylpyryliumtetrafluoroborate (34.1 mmol) and 4.78 g of cyclohexane-1,2-dione (42.6 mmol) is heated to boiling point in methanol, then a solution of 4.56 g of acetic acid (75.9 mmol) and 7.68 g of triethylamine (75.9 mmol) in a little methanol is added dropwise. After heating at reflux for 7 h, the solution is allowed to cool to room temperature. A light yellow precipitate is extracted by suction, washed in portions with 100 ml of ice-cold methanol and dried to constant weight. 11.37 g of a light yellow powder (79.3%) with a melting point of 178-179° C. (lit.: 182-184° C.) is obtained.
