Reaction Steps

A solution of phloroglucinol (1.57 g) and ethyl 2-(4-chlorobenzyl)-acetoacetate (3.18 g) in ethanol (25 ml) was treated with dry HCl at 0° C. for 1.5 hours and the solution was kept at that temperature overnight. Solvent was evaporated and the precipitate triturated with water. Yield 3.87 g (98%). Melting point 270-278° C.
