HCID 8868Ethyl Acetoacetate

HCID 542571691-Methyl-1-isochromanacetic acid ethyl ester

Procedure

In the same manner but replacing 3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl alcohol and aminoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal with equivalent amounts of phenethyl alcohol, Khafagy and Lambooy, cited above, and ethyl acetoacetate, respectively, 1-methyl-1-isochromanacetic acid ethyl ester, νmaxCHCl3 1720 cm-1, nmr (CDCl3) δ1.5, 2.85, is obtained. Likewise, replacement with equivalent amounts of 1-naphthaleneethanol, M. Mousseron and Nguyen-Phuoc-Du. Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr., 91 (1948), and ethyl acetoacetate, gives 1,2-dihydro-4-methyl-4H-naphtho[2,1-c]-pyran-4-acetic acid ethyl ester, νmaxCHCl3 1720 cm-1, nmr (CDCl3) δ1.5. Hydrogen bromide is a preferred acid catalyst for these latter two preparations.
