Sodium acetylacetonate is an organic compound with the nominal formula Na[CH(C(O)CH3)2]. This white, water-soluble solid is the conjugate base of acetylacetone.[1]
Preparation[edit]
The compound is prepared by deprotonation of acetylacetone: [2]
- NaOH + CH2(C(O)CH3)2 → NaCH(C(O)CH3)2 + H2O
The anhydrous compound is produced by deprotonation with sodium hydride in an aprotic solvent such as THF:[3]
- NaH + CH2(C(O)CH3)2 → NaCH(C(O)CH3)2 + H2
Reactions[edit]
Oxidation of the salt gives tetraacetylethane.[2]
With metal salts, it reacts to give metal acetylacetonate complexes.
Alkylation of sodium acetylacetonate can result in both O-alkylation and C-alkylation. The former gives the enol ether and the latter gives 3-substituted derivative of acetylacetone.
Structure[edit]
The structure of the monohydrate has been established by X-ray crystallography. The sodium cation is bonded to the enolate oxygen centers.[1]
