The Uses of 2,2,6-Trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one

Diketene-Acetone Adduct can be used in place of diketene in many reactions. As a transportable form of diketene, it is especially important in those countries, where the transportation of diketene is not allowed or at least not desired.

The Uses of 2,2,6-Trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one

2,2,6-Trimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-one is used in the synthesis of dihydropyrimininones as picomolar sodium iodide symporter inhibitors. It is also used in the synthesis of resorcinol amide Hsp90 Inhibitor AT13387. It is used in the synthesis of acetylketene by flash pyrolysis.

What are the applications of Application

2,2,6-Trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one generates unstable acetylketene together with acetone when heated above 120 ℃. Subsequent condensation with isocyanates, arylcyanates, or substituted cyanamides gives access to a wide range of 1,3-oxazine derivatives. Furthermore, diketene – acetone adduct can also be used for the preparation of a variety of compounds that are not accessible from diketene.

Chemical Reactivity

Diketene – acetone adduct (2,2,6-Trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one) can be regarded as a stabilized form of diketene. It can be safely transported and may conveniently be used instead of diketene in many reactions. For example, it reacts with alcohols and amines to yield acetoacetates and acetoacetamides, respectively. Diketene – acetone adduct generates unstable acetylketene together with acetone when heated above 120 ?C. Subsequent condensation with isocyanates, arylcyanates, or substituted cyanamides gives access to a wide range of 1,3-oxazine derivatives. Furthermore, diketene – acetone adduct can also be used for the preparation of a variety of compounds that are not accessible from diketene.
