Dimedone is an organic compound with the formula (CH3)2C(CH2)2(CO)2(CH2). Classified as a cyclic diketone, it is a derivative of 1,3-cyclohexanedione. It is a white solid that is soluble in water, as well as ethanol and methanol. It once was used as a reagent to test for the aldehyde functional group. Derivatives of dimedone and 1,3-cyclohexanedione derivatives are used as reagents for selective detection of sulfenic acids in biological samples.[1]

Synthesis

[edit]

Dimedone is prepared from mesityl oxide and diethyl malonate via a Michael addition reaction.[2][3]

Chemical properties

[edit]

Tautomerism

[edit]

Dimedone is in equilibrium with its tautomer in solution — in a 2:1 keto to enol ratio in chloroform.[4]

Diagram of tautomeric equilibrium of dimedone

Crystalline dimedone contains chains of molecules, in the enol form, linked by hydrogen bonds:[5]

Reaction with aldehydes

[edit]

Dimedone reacts with aldehydes to give crystalline derivatives, whose melting points can be used to distinguish between aldehydes.[6]
