Description

Ethyl acetoacetate, also known as acetoacetic ester, is a versatile building block in organic synthesis. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor. It is prepared by the Claisen condensation of ethyl acetate in the presence of a strong base, such as sodium ethoxide. Ethyl acetoacetate is commonly used in the synthesis of a wide range of compounds, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Its importance lies in its ability to undergo various reactions, such as alkylation, acylation, and condensation, due to the presence of both an active methylene group and an ester group. It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of many important compounds like 2,4-pentanedione and α-methyl acetoacetic ester. Its versatility and reactivity make it a subject of ongoing study in organic chemistry.'
