Preparation

2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione is usually prepared by condensation of malonic acid with acetone in acetic anhydride in the presence of sulfuric acid. Excellent yield of the product was achieved when acetic anhydride was added in a slow, controlled manner to a mixture of acetone, malonic acid and an acid catalyst.

General Description

2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (Meldrum′s acid) is widely used in organic synthesis, especially for multiple C-C bond formations due to its adequate acidity (pKa 4.83) and steric rigidity. Knoevenagel condensation reaction between aldehydes and Meldrum′s acid are accelerated in ionic liquids.

Flammability and Explosibility

Nonflammable

Purification Methods

Crystallise the dione from Me2CO/H2O. It is a synthon for the C3 malonic acid moiety. [Arnette et al. J Am Chem Soc 106 6759 1984, Bihlmayer et al. Monatsh Chem 98 564 1967, Review: McNab Chem Soc, Rev 7 345 1978, Chan & Huang Synthesis 452 1982, Beilstein 19/5 V 8.]

Conformation and intermolecular interactions of Meldrum's acid: an X-ray structural investigation of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

Clarence E. Pfluger  and  Paul D. Boyle

, Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 2, Issue 10, 1985

The solid-state conformation of the title compound has been shown to be a boat, using single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Crystallographic data are: a= 6.055(3), b= 13.746(3), c= 16.629(5)Å, orthorhombic, Pbca, Z= 8; Dx= 1.382 Mg m–3. 2,2dimethyl- 1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione, whose relatively high acidity, pK, 4.83-4.93,3*4 can be attributed to the presence of hydrogen atoms attached to a carbon atom which is a to two …
