Novel dimer of pentane-2,4-dione. The crystal and molecular structure of the cation (C10H13O2)+
Abstract
Reaction of a pentane-2,4-dionate salt with dimethyldichlorosilane yields a bright yellow compound; X-ray structure analysis reveals it to be the novel substituted pyrylium species, 6-(2-hydroxy-prop-1-enyl)-2,4-dimethylpyrylium chloride (III).
