Reaction Steps

A Parr flask was charged with 0.2 mol of ethyl 2-oximinoacetoacetate, 0.4 mol of acetic anhydride, 45 psi of hydrogen, and a mixture of 0.25 g of 5% palladium-on-carbon and 0.4 g of 10% palladium-on-carbon and shaken for about 22 hours. Work-up of the resultant reaction mixture provided a 92.3% yield of ethyl 2-acetamidoacetoacetate.
