Description

Ethyl 3-oxocyclobutanecarboxylate is a synthetic intermediate that can be obtained by the cyclization of cyclobutanone with ethyl acetoacetate. It can be oxidized to the corresponding ketone with peracid, and then lactonized to give the desired cyclohexanone. Cyclohexanones are important in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. The lipase-catalyzed dimerization of ethyl 3-oxocyclobutanecarboxylate provides an efficient method for synthesizing this molecule.
