Abstract

In contrast to the common reactions at the methylene group of benzoyl-and acetylacetone, several types of carboncarbon condensations including alkylation, acylation and carbonation were realized at the methyl group of these 0-diketones. These reactions were effected through intermediate dipotassio salts, which were prepared by means of two equivalents of potassium amide in liquid ammonia. Mechanisms and synthetic ...
