Acetic Acid → HCID 86662536, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 1000 ml five neck flask, 24.97 g (204 mmol) of tert-butylcyclopentadiene and 399.04 g of acetone were placed. In an ice water bath, 82.1 g (1.15 mol) of pyrolydine was dropwise added, followed by stirring for 18 hours under reflux. In an ice water bath, 70.91 g (1.18 mol) of acetic acid was dropwise added. From the resulting crude product, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure (150 torr, 40° C.), and the resulting product was washed with water, a 5% acetic acid solution, a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution and a saturated saline solution, followed by drying over magnesium sulfate. After the solvent was distilled off, the remainder was purified by vacuum distillation, whereby 23.4 g of 5-tert-butyl-1,1,3-trimethyl-1,2-dihydropentalene represented by the following formula [1] was obtained. Identification was carried out by a 1H-NMR spectrum and a GC-mass spectrometry spectrum (GC-MS). The results of the measurement are given below.
