Selective α-Mono- and α,α-Dialkylations of 1,3-Diketones Using Solid Base Prepared from Sodium Ethoxide and Alumina

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.65.1185

The alkylation of 1,3-diketones with alkyl halides using a solid base prepared from sodium ethoxide and alumina was carried out.The amount of 0.4 mol of sodium ethoxide on 50 g of alumina showed by best reactivity for alkylation.Selective mono- and dialky
