Procedure

A mixture of diketene (25 g), urethane (20 g), and acetic acid (75 ml) was refluxed for 25 minutes. Evaporation of the acetic acid under reduced pressure gave a syrup which crystallized on scratching. Recrystallization from benzene gave 16.6 g (32.5%) of N-carbethoxyacetoacetamide as colorless needles.
