  Procédé pour la préparation d'une dihydroxy-dicétone
 La présente invention concerne un procédé de préparation d'un corps nouveau,   l'hexane-diol-(3,4)-dione-    (2,5) qui est obtenue à partir d'aldéhyde pyruvique par réduction, notamment par un métal en milieu acide, ou encore par un sel dérivé de l'acide sulfoxylique.



   Selon un mode opératoire de préparation de   l'hexane-    diol-(3,4)-dione-(3,5), on traite l'aldéhyde pyruvique par un métal sous forme divisée, par exemple de la poudre de fer ou de zinc en milieu acide, par exemple acétique, à des températures comprises entre 0 et 1000 C, mais de préférence au voisinage de 500, ou encore par un sel dérivé de l'acide sulfoxylique, par exemple le formaldéhyde-sulfoxylate de soude. Après la réduction, le produit est extrait et purifié par les moyens usuels.



     L'hexane-diol-(3,4)-dione-(2,5)    est une matière de départ importante pour la fabrication de la   2,5-diméthyl-    4,5-dihydrofurannol-(3)-one-(4), un dérivé furannique utilisable comme agent aromatisant dans l'industrie des arômes.



   La présente invention est illustrée de manière plus détaillée par les exemples suivants dans lesquels les températures figurent en degrés centigrades.



   Exemple 1
 Préparation de   I'hexane-diol-(3,4)-dione-(2,5)   
 Sous vigoureuse agitation et protection d'azote, on chauffe un mélange de 680 g d'aldéhyde pyruvique sous forme d'une solution aqueuse à   50 O/o,    680 g d'éthanol et 500g d'acide acétique glacial à 450. On ajoute ensuite par portions, durant 1,5 heure, 600 g de zinc en poudre, la température étant maintenue entre 45 et 600. On filtre la solution, la concentre sous vide et reprend le résidu par 500   ml    d'acétate d'éthyle chaud. On filtre la solution organique et par concentration sous vide on provoque la cristallisation de 336 g de produit brut qu'on purifie ensuite par recristallisation dans l'acétate d'éthyle ou par sublimation.   L'hexane-diol-(3,4)-dione-(2,5)    pure fond à 89-900.



   Exemple 2
 Préparation de   1'hexane-diol-(3,4)-dione-(2,5)   
 Sous vigoureuse agitation et protection d'azote, on chauffe entre 40 et 500 un mélange de 625 g d'une solution aqueuse d'aldéhyde pyruvique à 40   O/o,    815   ml    d'eau et 185 g d'acide acétique pur. On introduit alors par portions, en maintenant la température entre 40 et 500, 220 g de zinc en poudre. L'addition demande environ 3 heures, après quoi on maintient le mélange en agitation pendant encore 2 heures à température ordinaire. On filtre le zinc métallique non utilisé, concentre le filtrat sous vide à 35-400, sépare l'acétate de zinc par filtration et dilue le filtrat par 2 litres d'eau.

   On procède alors à une extraction en continu avec un mélange éther-éther de pétrole   (Eb.    30-500), 2:1 (v/v) pendant une semaine, puis avec un mélange   9:1    (v/v) pendant une autre semaine. Après élimination des solvants volatils, I'extrait fournit 198,5 g (environ 80    /o)      d'hexane-diol-(3,4)-dione-(2,5)    brute, cristallisant au froid, utilisable sans autre pour la préparation du dérivé furannique.

  Process for the preparation of a dihydroxy-diketone
 The present invention relates to a process for preparing a new body, hexane-diol- (3,4) -dione- (2,5) which is obtained from pyruvic aldehyde by reduction, in particular with a metal in acidic medium, or alternatively by a salt derived from sulfoxylic acid.



   According to a procedure for preparing hexane-diol- (3,4) -dione- (3,5), the pyruvic aldehyde is treated with a metal in divided form, for example iron or zinc powder. in an acidic medium, for example acetic, at temperatures of between 0 and 1000 ° C., but preferably in the region of 500, or alternatively with a salt derived from sulfoxylic acid, for example sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate. After the reduction, the product is extracted and purified by the usual means.



     Hexanediol- (3,4) -dione- (2,5) is an important starting material for the manufacture of 2,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydrofuranol- (3) -one- (4 ), a furan derivative which can be used as a flavoring agent in the flavoring industry.



   The present invention is illustrated in more detail by the following examples in which the temperatures are given in degrees centigrade.



   Example 1
 Preparation of hexane-diol- (3,4) -dione- (2,5)
 With vigorous stirring and protection of nitrogen, a mixture of 680 g of pyruvic aldehyde in the form of a 50 O / o aqueous solution, 680 g of ethanol and 500 g of glacial acetic acid at 450 is heated. then in portions, for 1.5 hours, 600 g of powdered zinc, the temperature being maintained between 45 and 600. The solution is filtered, concentrated in vacuo and the residue is taken up in 500 ml of hot ethyl acetate. The organic solution is filtered and, by concentration under vacuum, the crystallization of 336 g of crude product is brought about, which is then purified by recrystallization from ethyl acetate or by sublimation. Pure hexane-diol- (3,4) -dione- (2,5) melts at 89-900.



   Example 2
 Preparation of hexane-diol- (3,4) -dione- (2,5)
 With vigorous stirring and protection of nitrogen, a mixture of 625 g of an aqueous solution of pyruvic aldehyde at 40 O / o, 815 ml of water and 185 g of pure acetic acid is heated between 40 and 500. Then introduced in portions, while maintaining the temperature between 40 and 500, 220 g of powdered zinc. The addition takes about 3 hours, after which the mixture is kept stirring for a further 2 hours at room temperature. The unused metallic zinc is filtered off, the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to 35-400, the zinc acetate is separated by filtration and the filtrate is diluted with 2 liters of water.

   Continuous extraction is then carried out with an ether-petroleum ether mixture (bp 30-500), 2: 1 (v / v) for one week, then with a 9: 1 (v / v) mixture for one week. another week. After removal of the volatile solvents, the extract provides 198.5 g (approximately 80 / o) of crude hexane-diol- (3,4) -dione- (2,5), crystallizing in the cold, which can be used without other for the preparation. preparation of the furan derivative.
