Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of diethyl malonate (10.0 g, 62.43 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was added sodium hydride (oil about 60%; 2.50 g, 62.43 mmol) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. To this mixture was added a solution of diketene (2.62 g, 31.22 mmol) in THF (15 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hr, and then at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was acidified with 1 N hydrochloric acid (70 mL) under ice-cooling, and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The extracts were combined, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluate, hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to give the title compound (1.79 g, 29%) as a pale-yellow solid.
