Reaction Conditions:

with sulfuric acid at 85 - 125; for 6 h;

Steps:

1.1

1. 80 mol of concentrated sulfuric acid was added with 150mol absolute ethanol and is heated to 85°C then 100mol of diketene was added and stirred at 125 °C for 6h. The ethyl acetoacetate solution was obtained by distillation under reduced pressure, the yield was 95%, and the solution was directly put into the next reaction.
