Phenylacetones from vicinal dihalides
Hi!
I'm very intrestingly, who is tried to make it?
Someone has articles about it? Thanks for the help.
Method of making phenylacetone derivatives
Example 1
75 g. of 15% potassium hydroxide is added to 23.3 g. 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1,2-dichloropropane and agitated 10 hours, cooled to room
temperature, extracted twice with 200 ml benzene, dried and evaporated (with heat) to get 15.2 g. 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylacetone(yield 85.4 %). The
boiling point is 149-151º C/10mm Hg.
Example 2
80 g. 20 % sodium hydroxide is added to 33.8 g. 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,2-dibromopropane (melting point 90-93º C.) and boiled for 12 hours. After
steam distillation and extraction with benzene 18.4 g. of a light yellow color oil is obtained. It is pure 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetone (yield 95.0 %).
The boiling point is 133-137º C/10mm Hg.

..and how do you make the 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1,2-dichloropropane? It will be [...]2,2-dichoropropane

Very simply,
C6H5CHO---C2H5MgBr--->C6H5CH(OH)CH2CH3---KHSO4--
-->C6H5CH=CHCH3---Br2--->C6H5CHBrCHBrCH3---NaOH--->P2P or phenylacetone derivatives, but I cannot find a technique of last transformation,
help me if you know

It doesn't work this way:
C6H5CHBrCHBrCH3---NaOH---> C6H5CCCH3 => C6H5CCCH3 + H2O + Hg2+ + H+ => C6H5COCHCH3 and C6H5CH2COCH3

ok, thanks for advice, but it has been written in the patent
and here https://www.hyperlab.info/inv/index.php?act=ST&f=17&... [post=500388]
now I want to found articles about transformation:
C6H5CH=CHCH3---1)H2O2,HCOOH;2)[H+]--->P2P
Someone has articles about this transformation?

Making phenylacetone or its analogues outside an experimental lab is an offence in most places.

Perhaps that is the plan and all the phenylacetone pondering are just related to working out the route.

C6H5CCCH3 + NaNH2 =(heat)=> C6H5CH2CCNa + NH3 (g)
or
C6H5CCCH3 + NaOH =(heat, triglyme+toluene)=> C6H5CH2CCNa + H2O (azeotroped off with tol,)
The base catalysis isomerisation between the terminal and internal alkyne, the terminal alkyne gets 'pinned' by forming the sodium salt.
C6H5CH2CCNa + H2O =(cold) => C6H5CH2CCH + NaOH
C6H5CH2CCH + H2O =( Hg(2+) & H(+) )=> C6H5CH2COCH3

You'll most likely find more generic or using other alkenes for the diol formation ( http://www.orgsynth.org/orgsyn/pdfs/CV3P0217.pdf ) and the pinacol rearrangement. There is some written on the specific rearrangement, because of
the mechanism for this case.

Isomerization? With a methyl?! That's not something they told me about. How does that happen? Inductive effect can't possibly be enough, not with
mere NH2- or OH- around.

Diene intermediate. See http://classes.yale.edu/02-03/chem125a/125webSpring/Isomeriz...
and specifically newer methods (I learned of the reaction in an org chem book published in the 1930s)

Well, actually it goes trough the allene stage (the term diene is more or less used only for two conjugated double bonds) and the isomerization is
driven by the deprotonation trough the enormous difference in pKa's between propargylic C-H and acetylenic C-H (~17 magnitudes of difference).
Regarding the original question of the thread... There is not much else in the literature about Ar-CHX-CHX-Me => Ar-CH2-CO-Me besides the JP patent
already cited (at least nothing that I could find in few minutes of search). Also, all the reaction mechanisms I could imagine don't look something
that would like to happen on such systems. In short, I would be skeptical about that patent until additional information.

I can agree with the advice bellow but the your claim about making of phenylacetone "analogues" being a legal offense is simply not true. Preparing
phenylacetone is not a crime in most of the world and neither is preparing its ring substituted versions or whatever analogue (= similar compounds,
which is a term so vague as to mean nothing). However, here I do not like to see any recipe oriented discussions on the synthesis of phenylacetone
itself, most particularly if the original poster uses acronyms like "P2P" or any acronym of criminal background. So, to all those replying, please
stick to the chemistry. If the discussion diverges out of the chemical discourse too much, then you all know where this thread will end.
…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being
unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their
scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)

Yeah, you're right. Never type tech stuff while cooking, the mind is elsewhere.

Ah, fascinating. So between OH- and NH2-, one could interconvert terminal vs. internal alkyne? Or wait, the water step was uber slow, or is heat
enough to make that move? Oh well, I'm going to bed anyway

OK, I typed too hastily but some people who are intending to make 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylacetone will be ending up in the local chokey when they
carry out their next step.

Yup - takes heating over solid KOH to happen fast enough to be useful. If there several isomeric internal alkynes you usually get a mixture, and side
reactions occur with both OH and amines.
The diamines used in the newer reports work better for getting the terminal alkyne than plain old -NH2; and you need an excess of the amide so as to
lock the terminal alkyne. With KOH and the shift to internal you can use lesser amounts of the base.

It doesn't work this way.
C6H5CH=CHCH3---1)H2O2,HCOOH;2)[H+] => C6H5CHOHCHOHCH3 + KHSO4 = > P2P
The alcohol bencilic position is more reactive, it dehydrated before.
CH=CHOH => CH2-CO
