Chemical Properties
clear light yellow liquid
Uses
Ethyl dimethylpyruvate is used as an allyl halide reactant in the presence of indium to release hydroxy unsaturated carbonyl compounds. It was also used in the synthesis of (2SR,4SR)-5(S)-(N-Boc)-amino-6-cyclohexyl-4-hydoxy-2-isopropyl hexanoic acid.

General Description
Ethyl 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate reacts with a variety of allyl halides in the presence of indium to afford hydroxy unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Conformational behaviour of ethyl 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate was investigated using solution FTIR in combination with
ab initio calculations.
