Action des organomagnésiens sur les composés β-dicarbonylés III. Mécanisme de l'addition du bromure de phénylmagnésium et du chlorure de benzylmagnésium sur l'acétylacétate d'éthyle.

Towards a qualitative understanding of the carbonyl reactivity of α-substituted ethyl 5-oxohomoadamantyl-4-carboxylates

“…Unsubstituted acetyl acetates with Grignard reagents result in addition products to all of the present carbonyl groups. 21 There are numerous cases of addition of organometallic reagents to non-enolizable β-dicarbonyl compounds. 22 a – f However, our study revealed some new aspects of this reaction with our di- and tricarbonyl compounds 1 , 2 and 3 .…”
