Abstract

Reaction of [(n-C4H9)4N]2[Mo2O7] with 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (acetoin) in methanol yields [(n-C4H9)4N][Mo2O5 (C8H13O5)]·0.5(C2H5)2O, a complex with the [Mo2O5]2+ core and a coordinated 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxy- 2,3,4,5-tetramethylfuranose ring, formed by Aldol condensation and oxidation of acetoin groups. Crystal data: triclinic space group P1, a = 11.824(2), b = 12.033(2), c = 12.677(3) Å, α = 83.65(1), β = 71.30(1), γ = 88.71(1)°, V = 1698.0(6) Å3, Z = 2, Dcalc = 1.37 g cm-3; 3826 reflections to give R = 0.0588.
