Diethyl 2-formylsuccinate; To a mixture of sodium (1.66 g, 72.13 mmol) in diethyl ether (35 mL) was added <strong>[123-25-1]diethyl succinate</strong> (10 mL, 60.11 mmol) and ethyl formate (8.25 mL, 102.18 mmol) at room temperature, and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 5 hours. After the cooling to room temperature, water was added to the mixture until the sodium salt was dissolved completely and aqueous layer was separated. The aqueous layer was neutralized by 6M hydrochloric acid (10.8 mL) and extracted with diethyl ether. The extracts were washed with sat. NaHC03, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by distillation (115- 120C, 10 mmHg) to give diethyl 2-formylsuccinate (6.55 g, 54%) as colorless oil. |

15.1. ethyl 2-formylbutanedioate To a suspension of 1.32 g (57.41 mmol) of sodium in 35 mL of anhydrous Et2O is added dropwise, at 0 C., under argon, a mixture of 10 g (57.41 mmol) of ethyl butanedioate and 4.62 mL (57.41 mmol) of ethyl formate. The medium is then stirred for 12 hours at room temperature, taken up in 100 mL of water and extracted with 100 mL of Et2O. The aqueous phase is acidified to pH 5 and then extracted with 100 mL of Et2O. The organic phase is then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and then concentrated under reduced pressure.

(i) diethyl (RS)-formylsuccinate Ethanol (20 cm3) was added portionwise to a suspension of finely divided sodium (10.0 g) in dry toluene (100 cm3). On completion of the addition the mixture was heated for 3.5 hours at 80 C. To the resulting yellow suspension, cooled to 20 C., was added dropwise, over a period of 1 hour, a mixture of <strong>[123-25-1]diethyl succinate</strong> (70.0 g) and ethyl formate (35.0 g), whilst the temperature of the mixture was maintained in the range 20 to 30 C. The mixture was kept at the ambient temperature for 16 hours after which water (100 cm3) was added carefully. The aqueous layer was separated, neutralised with 50% aqueous sulphuric acid, and extracted with diethyl ether. The ethereal extracts were washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and concentrated by evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure. The residual liquid (66 g) was subjected to fractional distillation under reduced pressure to obtain the desired diethyl (RS)-formylsuccinate (46.0 g), boiling range 82 to 86 C./0.53 mmHg.
