Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate (294 g) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) was added over 3 hours to a stirred, ice-cooled suspension of sodium hydride (150 g of a 80% dispersion in mineral oil) in tetrahydrofuran (500 ml) at such a rate than the reaction temperature remained ≤20°. A solution of prop-2-ynol (100 g) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) was then added over 2 hours to the above mixture with stirring and ice-cooling at such a rate that the reaction temperature never exceeded +25°. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, poured into 2M HCl (900 ml) and the layers separated. The organic layer was evaporated and the resulting red oil was separated in a separating funnel from the mineral oil. The red oil was taken up in dichloromethane and the resulting solution was washed several times with water, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to give the title compound (313 g) as a dark oil which was used directly in Preparation 8.
