Procedure

To a solution of ethyl formate (117.5 g) and ethyl propionate (54.0 g) in 40 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF) was added, drop-wise, potassium t-butoxide (502 ml of a 1.0 molar solution in THF) at ambient temperature over approximately 0.5 hour. A white precipitate began to form along with some bubbling. After another 7.5 hours the reaction was filtered, the solid was washed with diethyl ether and then dried under vacuum at 40° C. for 16 hours to give potassium 2-ethoxycarbonyl-propen-1-olate as a grey powder (23.5 g).
