Participants

Reaction Steps

The distillation residue of the second reaction is again recycled for a third synthesis after adding a further 122.7 g of 94.5% 2-methyl-heptan-2-ol-6-one (0.80525 moles), 5.2853 g of 86% KOH and acetonitrile in the usual ratio. After the reaction, distillation gives 82.0 g of 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyanomethyltetrahydropyran (0.49099 moles) in the distillate, together with the unconverted hydroxyketone.
