3-Chloro-2,4-pentanedione → HCID 9344223, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To ethanol (20 ml), 2,4-dimethylthiobenzamide (2.00 g) and 3-chloropentane-2,4-dione (1.79 g) were added, and the mixture was stirred under heat reflux for 4 hours. After the mixture was allowed to cool to a room temperature, from the mixture ethanol was distilled off under a reduced pressure. To the resulting residue, ethyl acetate was added, and the mixture was heated and stirred. After the mixture was allowed to cool to a room temperature, the precipitate was separated by filtration, washed with ethyl acetate, and then dried under a reduced pressure to give the title compound (1.10 g, 37%).
