Ethyl 4-bromo-3-oxobutanoate → HCID 178472904, compound

Temperature

10 °C

A solution of sodium nitrite (12.4 g.) in water (150 ml.) was dropwise added with stirring at 5° to 7° C. to a solution of ethyl 4-bromoacetoacetate (30 g.) in acetic acid (200 ml.) and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 10° C. Water (200 ml.) was added to the reaction mixture and the resultant mixture was extracted with ether (500 ml.). The extract was washed twice with water (200 ml.) and with a sodium chloride aqueous solution (200 ml.) and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give yellowish brown crystals of ethyl 2-hydroxyimino-4-bromoacetoacetate (a mixture of syn and anti isomers) (32.6 g.).
