Abstract

SOME years ago one of us, in conjunction with H. Rogerson (Trans., 1905, 87, 1669, 1685), published a new method by which alkyl derivatives of glutaconic acid, having a methyl group in the &position, and any desired a&yl group in either the u-or y-position, or in both of these, could be prepared in quantity, The method involved the condensation of the sodium derivative of ethyl cyanoacetate with ethyl acetoacetate, when a reaction occurred which ...
