Description

General description

5-Isopropyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione is a cyclic 1,3-diketone. It can be prepared by condensation of isobutylideneacetone with ethyl malonate. 5-Isopropyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione on methylation with methyl iodide yields 5-isopropyl-2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione.[1] A multistep-synthesis of 5-isopropyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione involving aldol condensation, Dieckmann-type annulation, ester hydrolysis and decarboxylation is reported.[2]

Application

5-Isopropyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione may be used as starting reagent for the synthesis of carvotanacetone analogs. It may be used in the preparation of monocyclic terepenes.[1] It may be used in the synthesis of 2H-pyrans, via reaction with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes.[3]
