THE CHEMISTRY OF 2-BENZAL-1-ACENAPHTHENONE AND RELATED COMPOUNDS. REACTIONS WITH AMINES.
Abstract
Sokoloff and Latschinoff reported in 1874 the reaction of ammonia with mesityl oxide. This was the first reported reaction of an amino compound with a vinyl ketone. Heintz, in the same year, discovered that acetone reacted with aqueous ammonia to form several condensation products, among which was the compound diacetone amine, to which the structure (CH3)2C (NH2)CH2COCH3 was assigned.Sokoloff and Latschinoff showed that diacetone amine decomposed to ammonia and mesityl oxide on heating. They also discovered that mesityl oxide would add ammonia in aqueous solution to reform the diacetone amine.
