The dianion of methyl acetoacetate reacts with ketones and aldehydes to yield δ -hydroxy-β-keto esters. These hydroxy esters can be dehydrated to the corresponding γ,δ-unsaturated-β-keto esters which are useful in annelation reactions to form cyclic β-keto esters. The dianion of methyl acetoacetate does not appear to undergo conjugate addition to simple α,β-unsaturated ketones, instead only carbonyl addition occurs.

The reaction of α,ω-dihalides with the dianion of methyl acetoacetate gives a mixture of mono- and bisalkylated products. The monoalkylated products can be cyclized via the monoanion to cyclic β-keto esters with a seven- or eight-membered ring. Alternatively these monoalkylated products can be cyclized via the dianion to γ-cyclopentyl- or γ-cyclohexyl-β-keto esters.

The enantioselective yeast reduction of aromatic ?-keto esters, by use of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, calcium phosphate (monobasic), magnesium sulfate and ammonium tartrate (diammonium salt) (10:1:1:50) in water at pH7 as a buffer for 72-120h with 45-90 % conversion to the corresponding aromatic ?-hydroxy esters was achieved by means of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract5-Acetyl-4,5-dihydro-1-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one was prepared and subjected to various chemical transformations to give novel 5-heterocyclic pyrazolopyrimidinone derivatives of expected important biological activity. Then, the latter compounds were used to obtain β-keto ester and α,β-unsaturated carbonylpyrazolopyrimidinones which were used as alternate precursors to produce new pyrazolopyrimidinones substituted with five-membered heterocycles such as pyrazole and isoxazole. The structure of these compounds was identified on the basis of their chemical behaviour as well as elemental and spectral analysis.

A method for the successful acylation of the dianion of simple β-keto esters to yield β,δ-diketo esters has been developed. The dianion of methyl acetoacetate also reacts with the monoanion of methyl acetoacetate to give a triketo ester which cyclizes to methyl orsellinate. These dianions also add to nitriles to give 5-amino-3-keto-4-pentenoates which may in some cases cyclize to 4-hydroxypyridones.

Background:: Chiral β-hydroxy esters and α-substituted β-hydroxy esters represent versatile building blocks for pheromones, β-lactam antibiotics and 1,2- or 1,3-aminoalcohols. Objective:: Synthesis of versatile α-substituted β-keto esters and their diastereoselective reduction to the corresponding syn- or anti-α-substituted β-hydroxy esters. Assignment of the relative configuration by NMR-spectroscopy after a CURTIUS rearrangement of α-substituted β-keto esters to 4-substituted 5-methyloxazolidin-2-ones. Method:: Diastereoselective reduction was achieved by using different LEWIS acids (zinc, titanium and cerium) in combination with complex borohydrides as reducing agents. Assignment of the relative configuration was verified by 1H-NMR spectroscopy after CURTIUS-rearrangement of α-substituted β-hydroxy esters to 4-substituted 5-methyloxazolidin-2-ones. Results:: For the syn-selective reduction, titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) in combination with a pyridine-borane complex (py BH3) led to diastereoselectivities up to 99% dr. High anti-selective reduction was achieved by using cerium trichloride (CeCl3) and steric hindered reducing agents such as lithium triethylborohydride (LiEt3BH). After CURTIUS-rearrangement of each α-substituted β-hydroxy ester to the corresponding 4-substituted 5-methyloxazolidin-2-one, the relative configuration was confirmed by 1H NMR-spectroscopy. Conclusion:: We have expanded the procedure of LEWIS acid-mediated diastereoselective reduction to bulky α-substituents such as the isopropyl group and the electron withdrawing phenyl ring.
