Discovery of 4,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one

A chemical reaction often occurs in steps, although it may not always be obvious to an observer.

Rate laws may be derived directly from the chemical equations for elementary reactions. This is not the case, however, for ordinary chemical reactions.37830-90-3, molecula formula is 4,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one, below Introduce a new synthetic route., 37830-90-3

A mixture of 4,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one (1.0 g, 8.8 mmol), benzoylperoxide (60 mg, 0.25 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (1.6 g, 9.0 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (10 mL) was heated at reflux for 2 h. The solid was removed from the reaction mixture by filtration. The mother liquid was washed with sat. NaHCO3 and brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product, 4-(bromomethyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one, was obtained as a yellow oil (1.7 g) and was used without further purification in the next step.
