Preparation of Ethyl acetoacetate:
Ethyl acetoacetate is produced industrially by treatment of diketene with ethanol which is a classic laboratory procedure. It is prepared via the Claisen condensation of ethyl acetate. Two moles of ethyl acetate condense to form one mole each of ethyl acetoacetate and ethanol.
Uses of Ethyl acetoacetate:
Ethyl acetoacetate is used as starting material for the syntheses of alpha-substituted acetoacetic esters and cyclic compounds, e.g. pyrazole, pyrimidine and coumarin derivatives as well as intermediate for vitamins and pharmaceuticals.
