Chapter 18, Problem 8PP
Practice Problem 18.8
The acetoacetic ester synthesis generally gives best yields when primary halides are used in the alkylation step. Secondary halides give low yields, and tertiary halides give practically no alkylation product at all.
(a) Explain.
(b) What products would you expect from the reaction of sodioacetoacetic ester and tert-butyl bromide?
(c) Bromobenzene cannot be used as an arylating agent in an acetoacetic ester synthesis in the manner we have just described. Why not?

In an aqueous solution containing sodium bicarbonate, aniline reacts quickly withbromine to give 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. Nitration of aniline requires very strong conditions,however, and the yields (mostly m-nitroaniline) are poor.(a) What conditions are used for nitration, and what form of aniline is present under theseconditions?
Give the structure of the product formed on reaction of ethyl acetoacetate with each of the following: (a) 1-Bromopentane and sodium ethoxide (b) Saponification (basic hydrolysis) and decarboxylation of the product in part (a) (c) Methyl iodide and the product in part (a) treated with sodium ethoxide (d) Saponification and decarboxylation of the product in part (c) (e) 1-Bromo-3-chloropropane and one equivalent of sodium ethoxide (f) Product in part (e) treated with a second equivalent of sodium ethoxide (g) Saponification and decarboxylation of the product in part (f) (h) Phenyl vinyl ketone and sodium ethoxide (i) Saponification and decarboxylation of the product in part (h)
