General description
2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (Meldrum′s acid) is widely used in organic synthesis, especially for multiple C-C bond formations due to its adequate acidity (pKa 4.83) and steric rigidity. Knoevenagel condensation reaction between aldehydes and Meldrum′s acid are accelerated in ionic liquids.
Meldrum′s acid is used as a valuable starting material to synthesize heterocycles and as intermediates in organic synthesis reactions.
Application
2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione was used in the synthesis of:
- macrocyclic β-keto lactone
- 4-pyridyl-substituted heterocycles
