Besides its application in mechanistic studies, the Friedel-Crafts alkylation has also been used to prepare synthetically useful compounds. Roth and Aig attempted the Friedel-Crafts ethylation of p-ethyl-acetophenone (equation 12) under carefully optimized conditions to obtain the 3,4,S-triethyl derivatives (7) in reasonable yield. They also noted that when less ethyl bromide was employed, the product, surprisingly, was hexaethylbenzene. Compound (7) is a key intermediate in the synthesis of 2,4-diamino-5-(3,4,5-triethylbenzyl)pyrimidine (8), an antibacterial agent.

The ketones are readily prepared, for example, acetophenone from benzene, acetyl chloride (or acetic anhydride) and aluminium chloride by the Friedel and Crafts reaction ethyl benzyl ketones by passing a mixture of phenylacetic acid and propionic acid over thoria at 450° and n-propyl- p-phenylethylketone by circulating a mixture of hydrocinnamic acid and n-butyric acid over thoria (for further details, see under Aromatic Ketones, Sections IV,136, IV,137 and IV,141).

This reaction involves the condensation of an aldehyde or ketone with an a-halo ester in the presence of a basic condensing agent (sodium ethoxlde, sodamide, finely divided sodium or potassium iert.-butoxide) to give a glycldio (or ap-epoxy) ester. Thus acetophenone and ethyl chloroacetate yield phenyl-methylglycidic ester (I) ... 

Various 4-, 5-, or 4,5-disubstituted 2-aryIamino thiazoles (124), R, = QH4R with R = 0-, m-, or p-Me, HO C, Cl, Br, H N, NHAc, NR2, OH, OR, or OjN, were obtained by condensing the corresponding N-arylthiourea with chloroacetone (81, 86, 423), dichloroacetone (510, 618), phenacyichloride or its p-substituted methyl, f-butyl, n-dodecyl or undecyl (653), or 2-chlorocyclohexanone (653) (Method A) or with 2-butanone (423), acetophenone or its p-substituted derivatives (399, 439), ethyl acetate (400), ethyl acetyl propionate (621), a- or 3-unsaturated ketones (691), benzylidene acetone, furfurylidene acetone, and mesityl oxide in the presence of Btj or Ij as condensing agent (Method B) (Table 11-17). 

Aldehydes and ketones such as acetaldehyde, ben2aldehyde, acetone, acetophenone, cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, and methyl ethyl ketone have been condensed with CPD in the presence of alkaline agents to produce colored hilvene derivatives. A typical condensation with a ketone is depicted as follows ... 

The leaving group in the alkylating reagent has a major effect on whether C- or O-alkylation occurs. In the case of the lithium enolate of acetophenone, for example, C-alkylation is predominant with methyl iodide, but C- and O-alkylation occur to approximately equal extents with dimethyl sulfate. The C- versus O-alkylation ratio has also been studied for the potassium salt of ethyl acetoacetate as a function of both solvent and leaving group. ... 

On the other hand, 1,1,1-trisubstituted alkanes behave similarly to aldehydes, yielding pyrjdium salts (128) with identical substituents in positions 2 and 6. Thus, Dorofeenko and co-workers condensed 2 moles of acetophenone with 1 mole of benzotrichloride in the presence of perchloric acid obtaining 2,4,6-triphenjdpjTylium perchlorate with 1 mole of ethyl orthoformate, they obtained 2,6-diphenyl-pyrylium perchlorate (57) from o-hydroxyacetophenone, ortho-formic ester and perchloric acid, 4-ethoxybenzopyrylium perchlorate was formed. 

More recently, further developments have shown that the reaction outlined in Scheme 4.33 can also proceed for other alkenes, such as silyl-enol ethers of acetophenone [48 b], which gives the endo diastereomer in up to 99% ee. It was also shown that / -ethyl-/ -methyl-substituted acyl phosphonate also can undergo a dia-stereo- and enantioselective cycloaddition reaction with ethyl vinyl ether catalyzed by the chiral Ph-BOX-copper(ll) catalyst. The preparative use of the cycloaddition reaction was demonstrated by performing reactions on the gram scale and showing that no special measures are required for the reaction and that the dihydro-pyrans can be obtained in high yield and with very high diastereo- and enantioselective excess. 

This procedure appears to be general and has been successfully applied to the following examples ethyl acetoacetate from acetone (68 %) ethyl benzoylacetate from acetophenone (74%) ethyl a-propionylpropionate from diethyl ketone (81%) ethyl 2-methylcyclohexanone-6-carboxylate from 2-methylcyclohexanone (67%). 

In the hydrogenation, 200 g of acetophenone azine, 1000 ml of EtOAc and 5 g of 10% Pd-on-C was shaken at 30-50 psig for 10 h. Hydrogen absorption had ceased. About 7.6 g of phenylethylamine, formed by cleavage of the N—N bond, was obtained as a by-product. Oxidation of hydrazines can be done catalytically. Ethyl 2-arylhydrazine carboxylates were oxidized easily by bubbling air at 25 "C through a toluene or dioxane solution in the presence of Pd or Pt (5d). 

Crude 5 -butyramldo-2 -(2,3-apoxypropoxy)acetophenone (16 g), isopropylamine (20 g) and ethanol (100 ml) were heated together under reflux for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residual oi) was dissolved in N hydrochloric acid. The acid solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, the ethyl acetate layers being discarded. The acidic solution was brought to pH 11 with 2 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution end then extracted with chloroform. The dried chloroform extracts were concentrated under re-... 

In semiindustrial synthesis, to achieve better yields, it is possible to omit (A), by directly preparing the ester (B) by reaction of p-hydroxy acetophenone on ethyl 2-bromoacetate in the presence of potassium carbonate in butanone. The yield of ester is 90%, and elimination of excess of p-hydroxyacetophenone is effected by washing with sodium hydroxide. 

Phenyl-2-butanol has a methyl group, an ethyl group, and a phenyl group (—Cgl ) attached to the alcohol carbon atom. Thus, the possibilities arc addition of ethylmagnesium bromide to acetophenone, addition of methylmagnesium bromide to propiophenone, and addition of phenylmagnesimn bromide to 2-butanone.
