introduction | 3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one is a pale yellow to yellowish brown transparent liquid with a sweet caramel fragrance. It can be used as a perfume and pharmaceutical intermediate, and can synthesize a variety of medicinal substances, including trichothecene toxins, adrenocorticoids, etc. 3-Methyl-2-cyclopentene-1-one is also a precursor of a variety of substituted cyclopentadiene. Substituted cyclopentadiene can react with a variety of metals to form diocene metal complexes, such substances It is an important catalyst for olefin polymerization. |
Use | 3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one can also be used as a gasoline additive in the petrochemical industry, such as it can be hydrogenated The methylcyclopentane that can be generated has a high octane number and energy density, and can be used as a good substitute for ethanol gasoline. |
preparation | add deionized water (300mL,2.5vol) to 2,5-hexandione (120.0g), stir evenly, and record as solution a. Add deionized water (400mL) to sodium hydroxide (100.0g), stir evenly, and record it as solution B (I .e. 20% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution). Install a coil and tube reactor and place it in an oil bath with an external temperature rise to 125°C. Immerse the suction ports of the plunger pump 1 (hereinafter referred to as pump 1) and the plunger pump 2 (hereinafter referred to as pump 2) under the liquid level of solution A and solution B respectively. Set the flow rates of pump 1 and pump 2 to be 12.0 mL/min, open the two pumps at the same time, and inject solution A and solution B into the reactor from the two feed ports of the reactor for reaction. The effluent from the outlet of the reactor is collected into a 250mL four-mouth bottle and cooled in an external bath at 0~5 ℃. After receiving the reaction solution for 5min, the reaction was stopped and sampled. GC analysis was performed after extraction with ethyl acetate, which was 3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one. The molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to 2, 5-hexandione is 2.1:1. |
biological activity | 3-Methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one is an endogenous metabolite. |
