2,2-DIMETHYL-3,5-HEXANEDIONE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Clear colorless to pale yellow liquid

Uses

5,?5-?Dimethylhexane-?2,?4-?dione is a useful reactant for the synthesis RhIII and IrIII half sandwich compounds which had good antimicrobial properties against Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Synthesis

75-97-8

141-78-6

7307-04-2

The general procedure for the synthesis of 5,5-dimethylhexane 2,4-dione from pinacolone and ethyl acetate was as follows: pinacolone (2 g, 20 mmol) was dissolved in ether (2.4 mL) and slowly added dropwise to a stirred mixture of sodium hydride (0.96 g, 40 mmol, 60% oil solution) in anhydrous ethyl acetate (3.3 mL, 40 mmol), with the time of the addition being was controlled at 60 min to maintain a suitable reaction rate. The temperature was maintained at 40-50 °C by gentle heating in an oil bath during the reaction. If the reaction is too violent during the titration, the titration can be suspended and a small amount of ethanol can be added to ease the reaction. After complete addition of pinacolone, the reaction mixture was continued to be stirred at 40-50 °C. To maintain the fluidity of the reaction mixture, an additional 20 mL of ether was added. Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with sufficient amount of ether. Subsequently, ethanol was added and stirred for about 20 minutes to quench the unreacted sodium hydride. After cooling to room temperature again, the mixture was slowly neutralized by adding ice water and an appropriate amount of HCl, controlling the temperature to be below 20 °C. After neutralization is complete, stirring is continued until all solids are dissolved. The ether phase was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with ether. The combined ether extracts were washed sequentially with NaHCO3 solution and water. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by ball-to-ball distillation (60 °C, 10 mmHg) to afford the target product 5,5-dimethylhexane 2,4-dione as a colorless liquid (2.61 g, 54% yield).
