Antia, M. B. published the artcileReformatskiǐ condensation of ketonic esters with halo esters, Recommanded Product: Ethyl 2-Iodopropionate, the publication is Agra Univ. J. Research, Science (1954), 197-201, database is CAplus.
Condensation of Et levulinate (I) with halo esters yields substituted butyrolactones. Thus 7.2, g. I, 8.1 g. MeCHBrCO2Et (b250 124°), and 3.3 g. Zn in dry C6H6 heated 0.5 hr. on a water bath, the mixture treated with 2N H2SO4, the C6H6 layer washed with 10% Na2CO3, dried, the C6H6 evaporated, and the residue distilled gave 4.4 g. O.CO.(CH2)2.CMeCHRCO2Et (II, R = Me) (III), b4 160°, b3 156°. The same reaction in xylene gave 4 g. III. MeCHICO2Et (b714 196°) did not react with I under either of the above conditions. Similarly 10 g. EtCHBrCO2Et (b75 106°) gave 3.5 g. II (R = Et), b6 183-5°, and 15 g. Et 2-bromolaurate (b10 172-4°) gave 2.0 g. II [R = Me(CH2)9], b4 162-4°. AcCH2CO2Et 6.5, ClCO2Et (IV) 5.4, Zn 3.2, reduced Cu powd. 0.2 g., and 30 ml. dry C6H6 refluxed 8 hrs., during which time 1 g. IV was added, gave 2 g. EtO2CCH2CMe(OH)CO2Et, b8 156-60°.
