Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Acetyl-1,3-cyclopentanedione (4.26 g.) was treated with 4.94 g. of 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde in 100 ml. of dimethylsulfoxide in the presence of 6 ml. of morpholine at 85° C for 40 minutes. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into 300 ml. of water containing 12 ml. of conc. hydrochloric acid. Deposited crystals were separated by filtration and washed with water, and dried. 2-(2-Hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamoyl)-1,3-cyclopentanedione (4.40 g., 49%) was obtained in yellow crystalline state, which showed mp. 198° - 200° C. after recrystallization from a mixed solvent of dioxane and ethanol.
