Abstract

3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone is a valuable reaction intermediate for various high value added products. 3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone is not only expensive but also difficult to produce. 3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone can be synthesized by base catalyzed intermolecular aldol condensation. In this work, we studied a simple and practical method for synthesizing 3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone. Experimental results showed the advantages of the continuous flow process using a microreactor with kenic mixers for the synthesis of 3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone.
