The concerted mechanism of this step is similar to the mechanisms of the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation [6] and Criegee rearrangement reactions, and also the oxidation step of the hydroboration–oxidation process. [7] In 2009, an acidified bentonite clay was proven to be a more economical catalyst than sulfuric acid as the acid medium.
DMP is used as a water scavenger in water-sensitive reactions. Upon acid-catalyzed reaction, DMP reacts quantitatively with water to form acetone and methanol. [2] This property can be used to accurately determine the amount of water in a sample, alternatively to the Karl Fischer method. [3] DMP is specifically used to prepare acetonides: [4] [5]
Acetone (2-propanone or dimethyl ketone) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CO. [22] It is the simplest and smallest ketone (>C=O).It is a colorless, highly volatile, and flammable liquid with a characteristic pungent odour, very reminiscent of the smell of pear drops.
The aldol addition product can be dehydrated via two mechanisms; a strong base like potassium t-butoxide, potassium hydroxide or sodium hydride deprotonates the product to an enolate, which eliminates via the E1cB mechanism, [9] [10] while dehydration in acid proceeds via an E1 reaction mechanism.
The original Bargellini reaction (1906): Reaction mechanism for original Bargellini reaction (1906): Present-day Bargellini reaction used for synthesis of hindered morpholinones or piperazinones from ketones (primarily acetone) and 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol (β-amino alcohols) OR 1,2-diaminopropanes (diamines).
Acetophenone is formed as a byproduct of the cumene process, the industrial route for the synthesis of phenol and acetone.In the Hock rearrangement of isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, migration of a methyl group rather than the phenyl group gives acetophenone and methanol as a result of an alternate rearrangement of the intermediate:
In silico studies [24] [25] [26] argue that the transition state for this reaction step is unfavorable and an alternative reductive elimination reaction mechanism is in play. The proposed reaction steps are likely assisted by water molecule in solution acting as a catalyst. Wacker process alternative transition state
Acetoacetic ester synthesis is a chemical reaction where ethyl acetoacetate is alkylated at the α-carbon to both carbonyl groups and then converted into a ketone, or more specifically an α-substituted acetone. This is very similar to malonic ester synthesis. Acetoacetic ester synthesis equation
