An efficient synthesis of α-(hydroxymethyl) ketones from β-keto esters has been developed, which is experimentally simple, amenable to large scale production and provides products of high purity without resort to chromatography in most cases. The method is a useful alternative and complement to condensation processes.
已开发出一种从β-
酮酯高效合成α-(羟甲基)酮的方法,该方法实验简单,适合大规模生产,并且在大多数情况下无需借助色谱法即可提供高纯度产品。此方法是对缩合过程的有用替代和补充。
