Application

Ethyl acetoacetate can undergo:

Transesterification with primary and secondary alcohols in the presence of boric acid.
Microbial reduction to form (S)-ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate.
C-acylation by acid chlorides in the presence of magnesium chloride and pyridine.
Asymmetric biphasic catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a water-soluble ruthenium-BINAP complex.
