Abstract
The reaction of alkylchloropyruvate (1) with sodiomalonate gave γ-alkyl-α,β-dialkoxycarbonyl-Δβ,γ-butenolide (2), which led to γ-ketocarboxylic acid (3). The reaction of 1 with sodioacetoacetate gave 2-alkyl-5-methylfuran-3,4-dicarboxylate (6) via the intermediate 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-3,4-dicarboxylate (5). It has been shown unambiguously that the carbanions of both sodiomalonate and sodioacetoacetate attack the carbonyl carbon of 1 predominantly.
