Acetylacetone Usage And Synthesis

Acetone derivatives	Acetylacetone is a derivative of acetone; chemical formula: CH3COCH2COCH3; It is colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid. It is usually the mixture is enol form and keto form which are the tautomers of each other; these two forms are in dynamic equilibrium; enol isomer forms hydrogen bonds inside the molecule; in the mixture, the keto form accounts for about 18% and enol type accounted for 82%. Cool the petroleum ether of their mixture to-78 °C so the enol will be precipitated as a solid and the two forms will be separated with each other. Upon the enol form being returned back to room temperature, the above equilibrium will be restored. Acetylacetonate have a pleasant odor. It is flammable, and has a relative molecular mass of 100.13. Its relative density is 0.9721 (25 °C). Its melting point is-23.5 °C and boiling point is 140.5 °C or 139 °C (99.458 × 103Pa). Its flash point is 41 °C. The refractive index is 1.4494. It has a vapor pressure of 0.800 × 103Pa (20 °C). (At 20 °C 16.9,80 °C at 34) and is soluble in water, ethanol, benzene, chloroform, ether, acetone, ethyl acetate and acetic acid. It is susceptible to hydrolysis to generate acetic acid and acetone. The molecular structure of the acetylacetone is a saturated diketone structure in which two hydroxyl groups are connected by a methylene group; this form is usually referred to as β-diketone. Acetylacetone is also one of the simplest saturated β-diketones and is a derivative of acetone. It has an active chemical property and can react with ferric chloride aqueous solution to exhibit a dark red color. This product can almost react with the hydroxides, carbonates or acetates of all metals to form a complex with a general formula being (C5H7O2) • M, wherein M corresponds to the metal element and n is the metal compounds. Most of such compounds are stable, and many of them are soluble in many organic solvents. This product can have reaction with chlorine in the presence of light of with only two ends of methyl hydrogen being replaced by chlorine. When this product is reacted with sodium, it can release hydrogen and generates sodium acetylacetonate. Acetylacetonate have a narcotic effect and can stimulate the skin and mucous membranes; at high concentrations (100 × 10-6 or more), it is easy to produce some symptoms of poisoning such as nausea, headache, and dizziness. Rat oral LD50: 970mg/kg.

The above information is edited by the chemicalbook of Dai Xiongfeng.
Preparation	1. ethyl acetate and acetone are condensed in the presence of a metallic sodium reaction; after the recovery of ethyl acetate, and the residue was neutralized with acetic acid, further add a solution of copper acetate which will form the green chelate precipitate of cooper acetylacetonate due to the chelation effect of acetylacetone; take out this precipitate and suspended it in diethyl ether, add diluted sulfuric acid for oscillation, after recycling the ether, the residue was separated by distillation to obtain crude acetylacetone, acetylacetone crude was subject to benzene (or ethanol) extraction refining to obtain the refined product. 2. acetyl chloride and acetone can react in an inert solvent in the presence of aluminum chloride to obtain acetylacetone. 3. ketene and acetone can be taken as raw materials and have reaction at 60~70 °C in the presence of sulfuric acid to obtain propylene acetic acid first, after purification, vaporize it at a high temperature (560~570 °C) to obtain acetylacetone after molecular rearrangement. During this process, the following balance may occur: to get more acetyl acetone, we should minimize the generation of enol as good as possible with a not very high temperature. After obtaining crude acetyl acetone, then vacuum distill for refining. 4. acetone was heated at 700 °C which can directly generate vinyl ketone; acetone is first converted to propylene alcohol; ketones ethylene reacts with propylene alcohol to obtain isopropenyl acetate which can be converted into acetyl acetone at 480~520 °C, then it is further subject to refining and rectification to obtain the fined product. The biggest advantage of this process is that it only needs one raw material-----acetone. Per 1 t product needs 2.55t of raw materials. The above information is edited by the chemicalbook of Dai Xiongfeng.

Production methods	It can be produced by adopting different processing routes: reaction between acetone and diketene reaction or condensation between acetic anhydride and acetone or acetone-acetate ethyl condensation. Acetone and diketene reaction is actually using acetone as raw materials, undergoing vinyl ketone, isopropenyl acetate, and then converting into acetylacetone; process is as below: introduce the pre-gasified acetone containing 1/1000 of carbon disulfide into the cracking furnace of 780-800°C, making it generate ketene (or using gasified acetic acid for cracking into ketone in furnace of 700 °C at the presence of triethyl phosphate as the catalyst and ammonia as the stabilizer), ketene is further absorbed by acetone and in the presence of sulfuric acid or acetyl sulfonyl, have it react at 61-71 °C with acetic acid to obtain isopropenyl acetate; after the fractionation for purification, the purity of isopropyl acetate propylene is over 93-95%. Then gasify the isopropenyl acetate, introduce it into the reformer preheated to 560-570 °C to obtain acetyl acetone through molecular rearrangement, condense, and fractionate for purifying the products. Every ton of product consumes about 2700kg of acetone. The condensation process of acetone and ethyl is carried out in the presence of sodium metal. Operation Example 1: add 120ml of refined ethyl acetate and 32 ml of ammonia into a cooling beaker. After the completion of addition of sodium amide, keep shaking the ice-water kept for 24h, have the mixture stand overnight at room temperature. In the following day, add 100g of ice, then join the same quantity of ice-water, for which the aqueous layer was made acidic by adding diluted sulfuric acid. Add saturated solution of copper acetate (produced by dissolving 40g of powdered copper acetate in a certain amount of hot water) to the above solution, so that copper acetylacetone is precipitated in the form of copper salts. If the reaction solution is alkaline, adding a small amount of acetic acid. After 2-3h, filtrate the gray acetylacetone and wash twice with water, directly transfer it into a separating funnel, add ether for constantly shaking while adding 50ml of 4N sulfuric acid to break down it. Take the ether solution for extraction of the acetylacetone within ether acid layer, combined the ether solution in two times, and dry with calcium chloride. The ether was evaporated off with the residue being continued for distillation, collecting the fraction within 125-140 °C and have it subject to refined distillation at 135-140 °C with the yield of 15-20 g and boiling point of 139 °C. Operation Example 2: to a 1500ml round-bottomed beaker, add 25g of sodium metal and 20 ml of diethyl ether, and further add 225 ml of cooled ethyl acetate with coolant. Add 73 mL of acetone upon cooling and stirring constantly, stand at room temperature for 4h, add 400ml of water, the water from the upper ethyl acetate, and the aqueous layer was neutralized with acetic acid, separate the acetylacetone at the upper layer of water layer while the water layer was neutralized by acetate solution, then add cooper acetate solution (dissolve 125 g copper acetate in 1500 mL of water) which will generates green acetylacetone chelate. After standing for 2-3h and the completion of precipitation filtrate it; suspend the precipitate in ether, oscillate with 50 mL of 40% diluted sulfuric acid; dry the ether layer with calcium chloride and evaporate out the diethyl ether; distill the oil-like residue, collecting the fraction in 124-140 °C, distillation again and collect the 139-140 °C fraction. The condensation reaction of acetic anhydride and acetone is catalyzed by boron trifluoride which has a relatively high yield. The refining method of acetylacetone: dissolve about 20 ml of acetylacetone crude product in 80ml of benzene, and then oscillate with an equal volume of distilled water for 3h. Water-soluble acid is assigned into the aqueous phase while acetylacetonate is easily soluble in benzene. The acetylacetone in benzene phase can be directly applied or subject to distilling off the benzene. Material consumption amount: acetone (industrial, water <0.5%) 2553kg/t, fuming sulfuric acid (H2SO4 count) 12kg/t, acetic anhydride (95%) 19kg/t, carbon disulfide (chemically pure) 6kg/t. The preparation method is using acetone for absorption of the acetyl-keto produced by the cleavage of acetate, in the presence of sulfuric acid or acetyl sulfonyl acetic acid, make it form isopropenyl acetate at 67~71 °C; after isolation and purification, obtain the acetyl acetone at 500~600 °C through molecular rearrangement and finally get the finished product through fractionation and purification.
