Ethyl 3-phenylethyl ketone

Using the same procedure the following ketones may be obtained in similar yields ethyl benzyl ketone from phenylacetic acid and propionic acid, methyl 0-phenylethyl ketone from hydrocinnamic acid and acetic acid, and ethyl 0-phenylethyl ketone from hydrocinnamic acid and propionic acid. 

Ethyl p-phenylethyl ketone. Use 100 g. of pure hydrocinnamic acid and 200 g. (201 -5 ml.) of pure propionic acid. Fractionation of the distillate yields 70 g. of diethyl ketone (b.p. 100-102°), 72 g. of ethyl p-phenyl-ethyl ketone (b.p. 245-249° the pure ketone boils at 248°), and 18 g, of crude di-p-phenylethyl ketone (high b.p. residue).

A methodically related transformation, the copper(Il)-mediated transfer of a cyano(ethoxycar-bonyl)methylene unit from ethyl cyanoacetate to alkenes, is presented in Section I.2.I.2.4.2.9. The copper-mediated synthesis of cyclopropyl ketones from a,a-dibromo ketones and alkenes seems to be of very limited scope and even less efficient than the corresponding synthesis of cyclopropanecarboxylic acids from o ,a-dibromoacetates (vide supra). The reaction (toluene, 100°C, 93 h) of cyclooctene (4.0 mmol), dibromomethyl phenyl ketone (8.0mmol), and commercial grade copper powder (18 mmol) activated with iodine (0.2 mmol) gave exy-9-benzoyl-bicyclo[6.1.0]nonane (7, 12%) and (2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)cyclooct-l-ene (8, 3%). ° A similar treatment of styrene gave l-benzoyl-2-phenylcyclopropane in only 2% yield [ratio (cisjtrans) 1 l.b].

Aminomethyl phenyl ketone oximes, such as ethyl 6-amino-5-nitro-4- [2-(hydroxyimino)-2-phenylethyl]amino pyridine-2-carbamate, bearing various substituents in the phenyl group are converted into the corresponding ketones 12, and then cyclized by hydrogenating the nitro function to yield 5-amino-3-aryl-1,2-dihydropyrido[3,4-5]pyrazine-7-carbamates 13.104 1°9...
