Organic Syntheses, Coll. Vol. 2, p. 200, 1943 | [General Description]
5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (Dimedone) is basically a highly sensitive and very specific reagent used for the determination of aldehydes. It is highly advantageous as it is environment friendly, give high yields and is a simple workup procedure. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise dimedone from acetone (ca 8mL/g), water or aqueous EtOH. Dry it in air. [Schneider & Todd Org Synth Coll Vol II 200 1943, Beilstein 7 H 559, 7 IV 1999.] |
