[CH3:1][O:2][CH2:3][C:4](=[O:15])[CH:5]([CH2:10][C:11](=O)[CH2:12][CH3:13])C(OC)=O.C([O-])([O-])=O.[Na+].[Na+]>>[CH2:12]([C:11]1[CH2:10][CH2:5][C:4](=[O:15])[C:3]=1[O:2][CH3:1])[CH3:13]21.60 g(100 mmol) of methyl 4-methoxy-2-(2-oxobutyl)-acetoacetate are held at reflux temperature for 8 hours with 212.0 g (50 mmol) of 2.5% Na2CO3 solution. After cooling the reaction mixture is extracted 3 times with 200 ml of CH2Cl2 each time. The combined organic phases are dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The crude product is column chromatographed over SiO2 and gives 4.08 g (29.1%) of 3-ethyl-2-methoxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one.
