The cluster anion - was found to catalyze the hydrogenation of the β-keto function in acetacetic amides and esters.The reaction of acetacetic amides yields the corresponding β-hydroxy derivatives, whereas acetacetic esters are converted in a consecutive coupling step into new diester derivatives.In the case of benzyl acetacetate both the hydrogenation and the hydrocoupling products were obtained.
