Product Information
Name:
Ethyl 3,5-dioxohexanoate
Description:
Ethyl 3,5-dioxohexanoate is an acetylacetonate that is generated from the reaction of ethyl acetoacetate and magnesium in a catalytic manner. It is used as a precursor to other organic compounds such as enol ethers. This compound reacts with nucleophiles such as chloride ions to form chlorides in a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The nature of this compound makes it suitable for use in organic synthesis because it is activated by metal ions, which can be easily introduced into the molecule. Ethyl 3,5-dioxohexanoate also has acidic properties due to its carboxylic acid group at the end of the carbon chain.
