Abstract

Summary X convenient general method is described for the preparation of ketones of the type RCOCHR2. Esters of the type HCR2CO2C2H5, in the form of their sodium enolates, are condensed with acid chlorides3 to give &keto esters of. the type RCOCR2CO2C2H6, which on hydrolysis give the ketones.
