Abstract

Acyl-, aroyl-, and heteroaroyl-acetic esters 6a-f and 8a-l are prepared by reactions of 1- acylbenzotriazoles 1a-k with acetoacetic esters 5 or 7a, b in the presence of sodium hydride followed by regioselective deacetylation. Similar C-acylation/deacetylation of acetylacetone and benzoylacetone affords β-diketones 10a-d and 13a-c, respectively.
