To a slurry of sodium hydride (57% dispersion in oil, 66.1 g; 1.57M), in tetrahydrofuran (500 ml) cooled to 0° under nitrogen was added 2-phthalimidoethanol (150 g; 0.785M) followed by ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate (129 g; 0.785M) in tetrahydrofuran (250 ml) over 1 hour. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight then poured into a mixture of 1M hydrochloric acid (800 ml) and ethyl acetate (750 ml). The organic phase was separated and the solvent was evaporated at reduced pressure. The residue separated into two layers and the upper layer of mineral oil was removed to leave the title compound (243 g) as a crude product which was used without further purification.
