Application

Cyclopentanone was used to design an absorbing fluorescent filter for fluorescent imaging system.
It may be used in the following studies:
  • Preparation of (2E,5E)-2,5-bis(4-(azidomethyl)benzylidene) cyclopentanone, via cross-aldol condensation.
  • Preparation of symmetrical C-5 curcuminoids by reacting with substituted benzaldehyde via Claisen-Schmidt condensation.
  • As an electron pair donor to stabilize allyl and vinyl cations during intramolecular carbohydroxylation of alkynes.

General description

Cyclopentanone is cyclic ketone. Baeyer-Villiger-oxidation of cyclopentanone using aqueous hydrogen peroxide containing 30% H2O2, solid acid catalysts has been studied. Microwave spectra of cyclopentanone has been reported. Transformation of furfural (FFA) to cyclopentanone (CPO) by various methods has been reported. Unimolecular degradation pathways of cyclopentanone have been studied.

The aldol condensation reaction is an organic reaction introduced by Charles Wurtz, who first prepared the β-hydroxy aldehyde from acetaldehdye in 1872.

The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation is the oxidative cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl, which converts the ketones to esters and the cyclic ketones to lactones.

羟醛缩合反应是由Charles Wurtz推出的有机反应,他于1872年首次从乙醛中制备了β-羟基醛。

Baeyer-Villiger氧化是与羰基相邻的碳-碳键的氧化裂解,其可将酮转化为酯、环酮转化为内酯。
