1,3-Cyclohexanedione is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)4(CO)2. It is one of three isomeric cyclohexanediones. It is a colorless compound that occurs naturally. It is the substrate for cyclohexanedione hydrolase. The compound exists mainly as the enol tautomer.[1]
Synthesis, structure, and reactivity
1,3-Cyclohexanedione is produced by semi-hydrogenation of resorcinol:[2]
- C6H4(OH)2 + H2 → C6H8O2
1,3-Cyclohexanedione exists in solution as the enol. It reacts under acid catalysis with alcohols to 3-alkoxyenones.[1]
Its pKa is 5.26. Treatment of the sodium salt of the enolate with methyl iodide gives 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, which despite the name, also exists predominantly as the enol.[2]
Derivatives
Dimedone, 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione is a well established reagent.
Several herbicides are formal derivatives of 1,3-cyclohexanedione. Examples of commercial products include Cycloxydim, Clethodim, Tralkoxydim, butroxydim, Profoxydim, and Quizalofop-P-ethyl.[3]
