Reaction Steps

Diketene (3-buteno-β-lactone, available, e.g., from Aldrich Chemical Co.) is then added to the hydroxyalkylbenzene derivative 4 under basic conditions, e.g., using triethylamine in dimethoxyethane (DME) to form a ω-phenylalkylacetoacetate derivative (5). For example, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-(2-benzyloxyethoxy)benzene is reacted with diketene to afford 2-[4-(2-benzyloxyethoxy)phenyl]ethylacetoacetate (5) (Step 5).
