| Product | Methyl 3-oxoheptanoate | HCID 546075 | 95.5% |
Reaction Steps
Under the same conditions as in Example 1, 116 g (1.0 mol) of methyl acetoacetate in a mixture of 520 ml of methylene chloride and 30 ml of methyl ethyl ketone were reacted with 77.8 g (1.05 mol) of calcium hydroxide and 138.7 g (1.15 mol) of valeryl chloride. The pH in this gave 151 g (GC purity 82.5%) of methyl valerylacetate (yield 79.0%).
