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 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.

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.

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.

Employing 1,3-dibromopropane, 1,4-dibromobutane, and 1,5-dibromopentane as biselectrophiles, the annulation of indoles was probed in the presence of PdCl2(MeCN)2 as a catalyst and norbornene as a transpositional ligand. Ring formation to a five-membered ring was observed at positions C2 and N, while annulation of a six-membered ring occurred at positions C2 and C3. The latter cascade process was successfully applied to the direct synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazoles from indoles (11 examples, 31–68% yield). Seven-membered-ring annulation was feasible by an initial coupling at positon C2 followed by alkylation at C3.
