Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (50% in oil, 39.6g) was added portionwise to a solution of ethyl acetoacetate (107.5g) in dry ether under nitrogen. Valeryl chloride (100g) was added dropwise over 21/2 hours to the stirred suspension, and then poured into distilled water (500 ml.), and the ether layer was separated off and dried. The ether was removed to give ethyl 2-valerylacetoacetate (142g) as a yellow oil.
