Description

Ethyl 2-ethylacetoacetate is a carbonyl compound that belongs to the supramolecular class of chromenones. The molecule has an x-ray diffraction pattern that is characteristic of a ring structure. It can be synthesized by an efficient method involving the reaction of ethyl benzoylacetate with a halide in the presence of acid catalyst. The reactants are isolated in high yield and structural analysis shows the presence of a methylene group and an ethyl group on opposite sides of the ring, which are bonded to each other through an acetoacetate group. This chromenone also displays photochemical properties and can be used as a substrate for functional theory studies.
