Participants

Conditions

Temperature: 50 °C

Procedure

15.0 g (69.4 mmol) of 4-nitrobenzylbromide and 5.00 g (34.7 mmol) of Meldrum's acid are dissolved in 100 ml 2-butanone. 4.40 g (104.1 mmol) potassium carbonate are added, the resulting suspension is heated to 50° C. and allowed to react for 2.5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, 100 ml water are added. The product is collected by filtration and washed with a lot of water. 12.3 g (85%) of 2,2-dimethyl-5,5-bis(4-nitrobenzyl)-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione as yellowish powder is used without further purification.
