The title compound, C12H14O6, features a roughly planar mol­ecule (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.287 Å). In the crystal, the mol­ecules are held together by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

3-Acetyl-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran (dehydroacetic acid) is a versatile starting material for the synthesis of a wide variety of heterocyclic ring systems (Prakash et al., 2004) and biologically important molecules like coumarins (Hernandez-Galan et al., 1993).

Related literature top

The title compared was prepared from dehydroacetic acid (3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran) treated with ethylbromoacetate in acetone in the presence of K2CO3. For the use of dehydroacetic acid as a starting material in the synthesis of heterocyclic ring systems, see: Prakash et al. (2004), and of biologically important molecules such as coumarins, see: Hernandez-Galan et al. (1993).

Experimental top

The dehydroacetic acid (500 mg, 3 mmol) was treated with ethylbromoacetate (2 g, 12 mmol) in acetone in the presence of K2CO3 (1.6 g, 12 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 3 h monitored with TLC at regular intervals of 30 minutes. The reaction was quenched by addition of 1 N HCl (10 ml) and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The combined organic layers were concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was dissolved in hot ethanol. The slow evaporation of ethanol yielded colorless needle-like crystals (90%, 680 mg).

Refinement top

The H atoms were placed in calculated positions and allowed to ride on their carrier atoms with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for CH and CH2 and Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3 groups.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
