Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.80 g (0.02 mole) 3-acetyl-3-hexen-2-one and 3.56 g (0.02 mole) N-bromosuccinimide in 50 ml of carbon tetrachloride was heated at reflux for 24 hours. After cooling, the succinimide was removed by filtration and the solution concentrated. Distillation of the crude product gave 1.81 g (66%) of 2,5-dimethyl-3-furyl methyl ketone, bp 84°-87° C (17 mm).
