Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-hydroxyimino-3-oxobutyrate (syn isomer, 56.7 g), N,N-dimethylformamide (280 ml), potassium carbonate (72.3 g) and propargyl bromide (43 g) was stirred at room temperature for 4 hrs. The reaction mixture was treated in a conventional manner to give ethyl 2-propargyloxyimino-3-oxobutyrate (syn isomer, 71.2 g).
