BASIC HYDROLYSIS OF ETHYL OXAL-ACETATE AND SOME CHEMICAL CHARACTERS OF 3-ETHOXY CAEBONYL PYRUVIC ACID

摘要

The products of basic hydrolysis of ethyl oxal-acetate and the preparation of 3-ethoxy carbonyl pyruvic acid 1 are reported.Esterification reaction of 1 with unhindered alcohols could be carried out smoothly, but it was unsuccessful with hindered alcohols.
