Example 3
A 20 ml vial with a magnetic stir bar was charged with 3.5 g (48.6 mmol) TMAL (ex-AkzoNobel).
Mesityloxide (4-methylpent-3-en-2-one, ex-Sigma Aldrich; 3.30 g; 33.6 mmol; 0.69 eqv.) was then dosed over a period of 47 minutes. The reaction temperature was kept below 50° C. A clear and slightly viscous intermediate reaction mixture was obtained.
1 g of the prepared intermediate reaction mixture was charged to a 20 ml vial equipped with a magnetic stir bar. The vial was placed in a heating block and heated to 100° C. After about 8 minutes of heating at 100° C., a violent uncontrollable exothermic reaction occurred. All the liquid present in the reaction mixture was boiled off leaving a foamy substance in the vial.
In order to better control the exothermic reaction, a new 20 ml vial equipped with a magnetic stir bar was charged with 0.3 g of the prepared intermediate reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was diluted with 0.7 g TMAL and heated to 100° C. After 13 minutes, an exothermic, but controllable reaction occurred. Over a period of about 30 minutes, the remaining intermediate reaction mixture was dosed to the 20 ml vial. The reaction was exothermic and the reaction temperature was kept between 80 and 90° C. A clear, bright red, and slightly viscous liquid was obtained. The liquid solidified upon storage at −20° C.
The formation of PMAO was confirmed by 1H-NMR.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
