Pinacolone (3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone) is an important ketone in organic chemistry. It is a colorless liquid with a slight peppermint or camphor odor. It is a precursor to triazolylpinacolone in the synthesis of the fungicide triadimefon and in synthesis of the herbicide metribuzin. The molecule is an unsymmetrical ketone. The α-methyl group can participate in condensation reactions. The carbonyl group can undergo the usual reactions (hydrogenation, reductive amination, etc.). It is a Schedule 3 compound under the Chemical Weapons Convention 1993, due to being related to pinacolyl alcohol, which is used in the production of soman.[2] It is also a controlled export in Australia Group member states.[3]
Preparation
Most famously, at least in the classroom, pinacolone arises by the pinacol rearrangement, which occurs by protonation of pinacol (2,3-dimethylbutane-2,3-diol).[4]
Industrially pinacolone is made by the hydrolysis of 4,4,5-trimethyl-1,3-dioxane, which is the product of isoprene and formaldehyde via the Prins reaction. It also is generated by ketonization of pivalic acid and acetic acid or acetone over metal oxide catalysts. 3-Methylbutanal is a starting material for 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, which in turn is converted to pinacolone. Pinacolone can also be produced from 2-methy-2-butanol when reacted with C5 alcohols.[5]
Uses
Pinacolone is produced in large amounts for use in fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides. Some derivatives include:
- retrosynthetic analysis of vibunazole showed that it was derived from pinacolone.
- It is also used to prepare pinacidil, as well as naminidil.
- Stiripentol
- Tribuzone
- Pivaloylacetonitrile is used in the synthesis of Doramapimod.
- Triadimefon
- Diclobutrazole
- Paclobutrazol
- Valconazole
- Diethylstilbestrol pinacolone [18922-13-9].[6]
- Some kind of Bisphenol A derivative also U.S. patent 4599463
- Thiofanox
