2,2-dimethyl-4-oxohexanoic acid

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Following the method of Example 2, but using 1-[4-chlorobenzyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)hydrazine hydrochloride 1.9 g and 2,2-dimethyl-4-oxohexanoic acid (950 mg) as starting materials, in t-butanol as solvent, after 16 hrs. at reflux, the solvent was removed in vacuo, and the title compound was isolated by crystallization and filtration, followed by crystallization from hot ethyl acetate:hexane 9:1. at reflux the solvent was removed in vacuo
