Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 14.3 g (0.047 mol) of ethyl 3,3-biscarbethoxy-5-oxo-hexanecarboxylate in 40 ml of dimethylformamide was added dropwise to a suspension of 3.6 g (0.118 mol) of 80 % strength by weight sodium hydride in 200 ml of dimethylformamide. After stirring at 20°-25° C. for about 15 hours, the reaction was stopped by adding 5 ml of isopropanol. The reaction products were partitioned between ethyl acetate and 1 molar hydrochloric acid. The organic phase was then separated, dried and evaporated down. Yield: 2.2 g of a crude product oil.
