Ethyl 2,4-dioxovalerate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear yellow liquid

Uses

Ethyl 2,4-dioxovalerate was used in the preparation of:

• 1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-d]-pyridazin-7(6H)-one core analog
• pyrazole

General Description

Assymmmetric hydrogenation of ethyl 2,4-dioxovalerate in the presence of chiral rhodium or ruthenium catalysts yields 2-hydroxy-4-methyltetrahydrofuran-2-one. Ethyl 2,4-dioxovalerate is a potential anti-fungal agent.
