Procedure

The above procedure is a modification of the procedure described in the literature at Kang, J; Kim, Y; Park, M; Lee, C.; Kim, W. Synthetic Communications (1984), 14(3), 265-9. In essence Meldrum's acid was reacted with diketene in dichloromethane in the presence of TEA at 20-25° C. for 2 hours to give 80% of 5-(1-hydroxy-3-oxobutylidene)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (8).
