Acetoacetic ester is another name for ethyl
acetoacetate.
The "acetoacetic ester synthesis" uses
acetoacetic ester as a reactant for the
preparation of ketones.

The anion of ethyl
acetoacetate can be
alkylated using an
alkyl halide (SN2:
primary and
secondary alkyl
halides work best;
tertiary alkyl halides
undergo elimination).

Saponification and

corresponding b-keto
acid.
The b-keto acid then

form a ketone.
