cyclopentenone
Cyclopentanone is the organic compound with the formula (CH2)4CO. This cyclic ketone is a colorless volatile liquid.
Preparation
[edit ]Ketonic decarboxylation of adipic acid gives cyclopentanone. The reaction is conducted at elevated temperatures in the presence of barium hydroxide.[3]
The Pd-catalyzed oxidation of cyclopentene also gives cyclopentanone.[4]
Uses
[edit ]Cyclopentanone is common precursor to fragrances, especially those related to jasmine and jasmone. Examples include 2-pentyl- and 2-heptylcyclopentanone.[5] It is a versatile synthetic intermediate, being a precursor to cyclopentobarbital.[6]
Cyclopentanone is also used to make cyclopentamine, the pesticide pencycuron,[6] and pentethylcyclanone.
It is also used as a precursor to cubane-1,4-dicarboxylate, which is used to synthesize other substituted cubanes, such as the high explosives heptanitrocubane and octanitrocubane.[7]
