[C:1]([O:7][CH3:8])(=[O:6])[CH2:2][C:3]([CH3:5])=[O:4].[CH2:9](Br)[CH3:10].C[O-].[Na+]>CO>[C:3]([CH:2]([CH2:9][CH3:10])[C:1]([O:7][CH3:8])=[O:6])(=[O:4])[CH3:5]465 g of methyl acetoacetate and then 458 g of ethyl bromide were added under nitrogen to 720 g of 30% sodium methylate solution in 1200 ml of methanol. The reaction mixture was subsequently boiled at reflux. After distillation of the methanol the residue was poured on to ice-water. It was then extracted with n-hexane and water. The organic phases were combined and dried. After evaporation of the solvent and distillation there were obtained 328 g (56.9%) of methyl 2-acetylbutyrate, b.p. 77°-79°/15 Torr.
