Abstract

Irradiation of ethyl acetoacetate in water yielded acetic acid, ethyl acetate, acetonylacetone and diethyl succinate. The possible route of their formation is the recombination of the radicals resulting from the cleavage of the bonds between α-β and β-γ carbon atoms of the β-keto ester and/or their interaction with the solvent.

Zusammenfassung

Bei der Bestrahlung wäßriger Lösungen von Acetessigester mit UV-Licht bilden sich Essigsäure, Ethylacetat, Acetonylaceton und Diethylsuccinat. Ein möglicher Weg zur Entstehung dieser Produkte ist die Rekombination der durch homolytische Trennung der Bindungen zwischen den α-β und β-γ-Kohlenstoffatomen des β-Ketoesters gebildeten Radikale, sowie ihre Wechselwirkung mit dem Lösungsmittel.
