 Action of Phosphorus Pentachlorid on Diethyl=acetoacetic Ester. 



By this action diethyl-monochlor-acetoacetic ester, CH 2 Cl COC 

 (C 2 H 5 ) 2 CO 2 C 2 H 5 , and the corresponding dichlor derivative were 

 formed. Diethyl-monochlor-acetoacetic ester treated with sodium 

 methoxid gave methoxy-diethyl-acetoacetic ester, CH 2 (CH 3 O) COC 

 (C 2 H 5 ) 2 CO 2 C 2 H 5 , and methoxy-methyl-ethyl acetone, CH 2 (CH 3 O) 

 COCH (CH 3 ) (C 2 H 5 ). Di-methoxy-diethyl-acetoacetic ester, CH 

 (CH 3 O) 2 COC(C 2 H 5 ) 2 CO 2 C 2 H 5 , and di-methoxy-diethyl acetone, 

 CH (CH 3 O) 2 COCH (C 2 H 5 ) 2 , were also prepared.

Synthesis of Acetoacetic Ester from Cyanacetone. 



The author has repeated the experiment of Matthew * and Hodgkin- 

 son's and failed to produce any trace of a'cetoacetic ester from 

 cyanacetone with hydrochloric acid or an alkali.

Production of Quinizins by the Action of Hydrazobenzenes on 



Acetoacetic Esters. 



Acetoacetic ester treated with hydrazobenzene gives phenyl-methyl- 

 oxyquinizin which melts at 122?
