What is Ethyl benzoylacetate with CAS 94-02-0?


Ethyl benzoylacetate with CAS 94-02-0is an ester. It undergoes microbial reduction by bakers′ yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Beauveria sulfurescens or Geotrichum candidum to afford ethyl (S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionate. It undergoes Claisen condensation reaction with malononitrile to afford 2-cyano-5-phenyl-3,5-dioxopentanonitrile which on cyclization followed by coupling with diazonium salts yields azo derivatives. Ethyl benzoylacetate (Benzoylacetic acid ethyl ester) was used to prepare ethyl 2-fluoro-2-benzolyacetate. It was also used to synthesize iodonium ylides.
