B. Methyl cyclopropyl ketone. A 2-1. three-necked flask is fitted with a sweep-type stirrer made from K-in. iron rod (Note 6), a reflux condenser, and a 500-ml. dropping funnel. In the flask there is placed a solution consisting of 180 g. (4.5 moles) of sodium hydroxide pellets and 180 ml. of water. To this solution there is added over a period of 15-20 minutes 361.5 g. (342 ml., approximately 3 moles) of the crude 5-chloro-2-pentanone (Note 7). If the reaction mixture does not begin to boil during the addition, boiling is initiated by slight heating of the flask and is continued for 1 hour. Three hundred and seventy milliliters of water is then added slowly to the reaction mixture over a 20-minute period, and the mixture is heated under reflux for an additional hour. 

Methyl cyclopropyl ketone has been prepared from ethyl aceto-acetate and ethylene bromide,6 and by the action of methyl-magnesium bromide on cyclopropyl cyanide.6-7 The procedure described for its preparation from 5-chloro-2-pentanone is similar to that of Zelinsky and Dengin.8 5-Chloro-2-pentanone has been prepared by a number of methods.9 The procedure given is essentially that of Boon 10 and of Forman.11 A similar procedure has been used for the preparation of the corresponding bromo-and iodoketones.10...

Another route uses 2-methyl-4-ammocyanopyridine, CS2 and 5-acetoxy-3-chloro-2-pentanone (made from butyrolactone). 

Using your roadmaps as a guide, show how to convert 5-chloro-2-pentanone and carbon dioxide into racemic tetrahydro-6-methyl-2-pyranone.You must use 5-chloro-2-pentanone and carbon dioxide as the source of all carbon atoms in the racemic target... 

A mixture of 22 parts of 1 -ethyl-1,4-dihydro-5H-tetrazol-5-one,45 parts of 1 -bromo-2-chloro-ethane,26 parts of sodium carbonate,0.3 part of potassium iodide and 240 partsof 4-methyl-2 pentanone is stirred and refluxed overnight with water-separator. The reaction mixture is cooled, water is added and the layers are separated. The aqueous phase is extracted three times with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases are dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue is purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using trichloromethane as eluent. The pure fractions are collected and the eluent is evaporated, yielding 28.4 parts (80%) of 1-(2-chloroethyi)-4-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-5H-tetrazol-5-one as a residue. 

A mixture of 3.4 parts of 7-chloro-4-fluorobutyrophenone, 4 parts of 1-(4-piperidyl)-2-benzimidazolinone hydrochloride, 6 parts of sodium carbonate and 0.1 part of potassium iodide in 176 parts of 4-methyl-2-pentanone is stirred and refluxed for 48 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled and 120 parts of water is added. The separated organic layer is dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent is evaporated to leave an oily residue which is dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid and boiled. The acidic solution is filtered and cooled at room temperature whereupon there crystallizes from solution l-<1-[ y-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-propyl]-4-piperidvl>-2-benzimidazolinone hydrochloride hydrate melting at about 134°-142°C. 

A mixture of 7.3 parts l-chloro-4,4-di-(4-fluorophenyl)-butane, 5.1 parts l-phenyl-4-oxo-l,3,8-triaza-spiro(4,5)-decane, 4 parts sodium carbonate, a few crystals of potassium iodide in 200 parts 4-methyl-2-pentanone is stirred and refluxed for 60 hours. After cooling the reaction mixture is treated with water. The organic layer is separated, dried, filtered and evaporated. The solid residue is recrystallized from 80 parts 4-methyl-2-pentanone, yielding l-phenyl-4-oxo-8-[4,4-di-(4-fluorophenyl)-] butyl-1,3,8-triaza-spiro(4,5)decane, melting point 187.5° to 190°C.
