Reaktionsschritte

Stir a mixture of diethyl 2-methyl-3-oxoadipate (2.3 g, b.p. 111°-112°C/0.2 mm), prepared from 2- methylacetoacetic ester and ethoxycarbonylpropionyl chloride by the method of Cardwell, J. Chem. Soc., 1949, 715, and the methiodide of 1-diethylamino-6-m-methoxyphenylhexan-3-one (4.6 g) in benzene (20 cc) in an ice bath and add a solution of potassium (0.4 g) in ethanol (10 cc) dropwise over one hour. After stirring for a further 4 hours add ether (50 cc) and evaporate the washed and dried ether extracts. Heat the residue at 160°C and 0.2 mm pressure to remove unchanged starting materials. The residual gum is diethyl 2-(6-m-methoxyphenyl-3-oxohexyl)-2-methyl-3-oxoadipate (2.7 g); infrared absorption peaks at 5.78, 5.88, 6.25, 12.82, 14.49 μ.
