Allyl Alcohol → HCID 13946438, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 35 g of methyl-3-ketopentanoate and 36 mL of allyl alcohol are distilled to about 120° to 125° C., removing both methyl alcohol and allyl alcohol. Allyl alcohol (36 mL) is added to the reaction mixture, which is again distilled at 120°-125° C. This process is repeated for a total of four 36 mL portions of allyl alcohol over a 24 hour period. The remaining mixture is then vacuum distilled to yield 38.03 g of allyl-3-ketopentanoate (90% yield), bp 90°-95° C. under 10-14 mm Hg.
