Procedure

Sodium hydride (60 wt %, 12 g 0.3 mol NaH) was slurried in dry DMF (100 ml). The resulting suspension was cooled with stirring to 0° C. To this was added a solution of ethyl 2-methylacetoacetate (50 g, 0.346 mol) in DMF (25 ml), dropwise so as to maintain the temperature at <10° C. and control effervescence. Once addition was complete and hydrogen evolution ceased, the mixture was warmed in a warm water bath until a clear, pale yellow solution resulted. This was cooled again to 0° C. A solution of 1,4-butanesultone (45 g, 0.33 mol) in DMF (25 ml) was added over 15 mins, maintaining the temperature at <10° C. Once addition was complete, the mixture was heated at 50° C. for 16 hrs. The solvent was then evaporated under vacuum to dryness; the residue was partitioned between water and diethyl ether. The aqueous layer was retained; the organic layer was extracted with fresh water, then discarded. The combined aqueous extracts were washed with fresh ether, then evaporated under vacuum to give the product as a waxy solid.
