The Acetoacetic Ester Synthesis

The anion produced by proton abstraction from ethyl acetoacetate is nucleophilic.

The new carbon–carbon bond is formed by an SN2-type reaction.

Saponification and decarboxylation of the alkylated derivative of ethyl acetoacetate yields a


ketone.

The Acetoacetic Ester Synthesis

The acetoacetic ester synthesis brings about the overall transformation of an alkyl halide to
an alkyl derivative of acetone.

The Malonic Ester Synthesis

The malonic ester synthesis is conceptually analogous to


the acetoacetic ester synthesis.

The Malonic Ester Synthesis

By performing two successive alkylation steps, the malonic ester synthesis can be
applied to the synthesis of a,a-disubstituted derivatives of acetic acid:
