Procedure

To a solution of ethyl 3-oxobutanoate (26 g, 200 mmol) in acetone (500 mL) was added potassium carbonate (82.8 g, 600 mmol) followed by 1,2-dibromoethane (45.12 g, 240 mmol). The reaction was refluxed for 24 hrs, the reaction mixture was then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (1:50(v/v) EtOAc/n-hexane) to afford the title compound as colorless oil (18.7 g, 60%).
