Following the method of Hunsdiecker [Berichte, 75, 454 (1942)], 26 parts of ethyl 2-acetyl-4(2-methylphenyl)-3-oxobutanoate was stirred for 10 hours at room temperature with 100 parts ethanol and 6.8 parts of sodium ethoxide. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ether. The solvent was then evaporated to give ethyl 4-(2-methylphenyl)-3-oxobutanoate.
