Ring formation via β-keto ester dianions
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.
