Transcribed Image Text:The acetoacetic ester synthesis is a carbonyl alkylation reaction. It is used to prepare methyl ketones from primary alkyl halides, lengthening the carbon chain by three atoms. Thus, the product can be
visualized as being a "substituted acetone." The reaction consists of three steps: generation of the enolate anion followed by SN2 reaction with a primary alkyl halide, ester hydrolysis under acid
conditions, and decarboxylation.
