General description

Ethyl propionylacetate reacts with tropolone p-toluenesulfonate in the presence of sodium ethoxide to give 3-propionyl-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-one.

Application

Ethyl propionylacetate has been used in the synthesis of 1-ethyl- and 1-n-propyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid bearing one or two substituents on the benzene ring.
