Abstract

Benzoyl chloride reacts with one equivalent each of ketene dimethylacetal and triethylamine in ether solution to give 50-55% yields of benzoylketene acetal (X'III), the hydrochloride of the amine and small amounts of methyl P-benzoyloxycinnamate (X) and methyl dibenzoylacetate (XI). With an excess of the amine lesser amounts of VI11 are formed, and some of the amine is converted to the methyl-quaternary salt. Acylketene acetals are best ...
