Procedure
NaOH (4.51 g, 113 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous MeOH. After cooling the mixture to 0° C. using an ice-bath, acetylacetone (10.0 g, 99.8 mmol) was added while stirring over a period of several minutes. Allyl bromide (10.4 mL, 123 mmol) was then added without cooling over a period of 10 min. After addition was complete, the reaction mixture was refluxed for an additional 2 h. The mixture was cooled and filtered to remove excess NaBr. MeOH and the excess allyl bromide were removed by distillation. The product, 5, was isolated as a yellow oil, 6.72 g (48% yield), between 81-87° C.
