3-Chloro-2,4-pentanedione → HCID 12813037, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into 200 ml of benzene, 22.7 g (0.1 mol) of 3,4,5-trimethoxythiobenzamide and 16.0 g (0.12 mol) of 1-acetyl-1-chloroacetone were dissolved, and the solution was heated under a reflux condenser for 3 hours. The crystals, which separated out after cooling the reaction mixture, were recrystallized from methanol to obtain 24.5 g of pale yellow needle-like crystals of the product melting at 128° to 129° C. The yield was 79.8%. The method belongs to the above-mentioned method (a).
