Ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate is a chemical compound, which for the ethyl esters of acetoacetic acid belongs. It is a starting material in various syntheses.
Chemical Properties
Ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate is colorless to pale reddish-yellow clear liquid
Uses
Ethyl-4-chloracetoacetate (CAAEt) is used as intermediate for organic syntheses, e.g. ethyl 4-chloro-3-arylaminocrotonates, diethyl succinylsuccinate, 2-alkyl-4-hydroxy-6-chloromethylpyrimidines, 4- chloromethylcoumarines. Product Data Sheet
Uses
Ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate is used as a precursor in the preparation of phosphorous ylides. It finds application in regular film coating, pharmaceutical coating and formulation.
Preparation
Preparative Methods of Ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate: the industrial production of the esters is made exclusively by chlorination of diketene followed by reaction of the intermediate acid chloride with the corresponding alcohol.[2]
Synthesis
141-97-9
638-07-3
GENERAL PROCEDURE: To an anhydrous THF (2 mL) solution of diisopropylamine (340 μL, 2.4 eq.) in a flame-dried round-bottomed flask under an argon atmosphere at 0 °C, n-butyllithium (1.4 mL, 1.6 M hexane solution, 2.2 eq.) was slowly added and the reaction mixture was stirred at this temperature for 15 min. Maintaining the same temperature, a solution of THF (2 mL) in ethyl acetoacetate (1 mmol) was slowly added dropwise. The reaction mixture was cooled to -78 °C after continued stirring at 0 °C for 1 h. Methyl chlorosulfate (110 μL, 1.2 eq.) was subsequently added. After stirring at -78 °C for 30 min, the reaction was quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (5 mL). The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 5 mL) and the organic phases were combined and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave the target product ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate.
Solubility in organics
Ethyl 4-Chloroacetoacetate is is soluble in most organic solvents. The ethyl ester (1a) is 12% enolized in the pure liquid, and highly enolized (60% in CCl4) in nonpolar solvents.[1]
storage
Ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate is lachrymators of moderate toxicity; uses in a fume hood.
