1,3-Cyclohexanedione is an organic compound with the formula (CH₂)₄(CO)₂. It is one of three isomeric cyclohexanediones. It is a colorless compound that occurs naturally. It is the substrate for cyclohexanedione hydrolase. The compound exists mainly as the enol tautomer.[1]

Synthesis, structure, and reactivity

1,3-Cyclohexanedione is produced by semi-hydrogenation of resorcinol:[2]

C₆H₄(OH)₂ + H₂ → C₆H₈O₂

1,3-Cyclohexanedione exists in solution as the enol. It reacts under acid catalysis with alcohols to 3-alkoxyenones.[1]

Enolization of 1,3-cyclohexanedione.

Its pK_a is 5.26. Treatment of the sodium salt of the enolate with methyl iodide gives 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, which despite the name, also exists predominantly as the enol.[2]

Derivatives

Dimedone, 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione is a well established reagent.

Several herbicides are formal derivatives of 1,3-cyclohexanedione. Examples of commercial products include cycloxydim, clethodim, tralkoxydim, butroxydim, profoxydim, mesotrione and quizalofop-P-ethyl.[3]

gollark: I mean, in sane languages if you want to declare a new type you can do `data Bees = Bees Int String deriving (Show, Eq)` or whatever.

gollark: It's harder to understand if it's verbose and whatnot.

gollark: ... being... sane?

gollark: Yes.

gollark: If your language *needs* a dedicated editor it's probably too complex and verbose.
