Procedure: To a mixture, of ethyl trop-2-ene-2-carboxylate (3.43 g, 0.019 mol) and Me3SiCl (10.32 g, 0.095 mol) in THF (70 mL) cooled to -100° C., MeLi (1.4 M, 7.07 mL, 0.0239 mol) was added dropwise. After warming up to room temperature, the reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours. Excess Me3SiCl and THF was evaporated off and the resulting residue was stirred with EtOH (6 mL) followed by water (6 mL). The mixture was then made acidic (6N HCl) and extracted with ether. The aqueous layer was made basic (solid K2CO3) and extracted with chloroform, dried (K2CO3) and concentrated to give 3.14 g (81%) of 2-acetyltrop-2-ene as an oil: IR (neat) 1670 (COCH3); Excess Me3SiCl and THF was evaporated off the resulting residue was stirred with EtOH (6 mL) made acidic (6N HCl) and extracted with ether extracted with chloroform dried (K2CO3) concentrated
