1,3-Cyclohexanedione is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 (CO) 2. It is one of three isomeric cyclohexanediones. It is a colorless compound that occurs ...
Dimedone is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 C(CH 2) 2 (CO) 2 (CH 2). 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.
In enzymology, a cyclohexane-1,3-dione hydrolase (EC 3.7.1.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction cyclohexane-1,3-dione + H 2 O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 5-oxohexanoate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are cyclohexane-1,3-dione and H 2 O , whereas its product is 5-oxohexanoate .
[12] 1,3-Cyclohexanedione is first reacted with the acid chloride of 4-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nitrobenzoic acid under conditions in which the enolic hydroxyl group of the diketone reacts to form the benzoylated derivative. In a separate step, this is rearranged to mesotrione using a catalytic amount of cyanide ion derived from acetone cyanohydrin.
The original Wieland–Miescher ketone is racemic and prepared in a Robinson annulation of 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione and methyl vinyl ketone. The intermediate alcohol is not isolated. An enantioselective synthesis employs L-proline as an organocatalyst: [7] This reaction was reported in 1971 by Z. G. Hajos and D. R. Parrish.
1,5-Pentanediol, a common plasticizer and precursor to polyesters is manufactured by hydrogenation of glutaric acid and its derivatives. [3] Glutaric acid itself has been used in the production of polymers such as polyester polyols, polyamides. The odd number of carbon atoms (i.e. 5) is useful in decreasing polymer elasticity. [4]
The mechanism of action of nitisinone involves inhibition of 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD). [5] [6] This is a treatment for patients with Tyrosinemia type 1 as it prevents the formation of 4-Maleylacetoacetic acid and fumarylacetoacetic acid, which have the potential to be converted to succinyl acetone, a toxin that damages the liver and kidneys.
