Abstract
In the presence of sodium acetate, the reaction between 2,2,6-trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one and secondary or tertiary alcohols or primary or secondary amines could be carried out in refluxing tetrahydrofuran. Under these much milder conditions, side products were avoided, and β-keto esters and β-ketoamides were normally obtained in quantitative yields.
