Sodium (241 mg, 10.48 mmol) was added to absolute ethanol (40 mL) and the mixture refluxed until sodium reacted completely. Then ethyl 2-methylacetoacetate (2) (1.2 mL, 8.25 mmol) was added to the solution. The mixture was refluxed for 1 h and, then, after reaching room temperature, aldehyde 1 (1.26 g, 8.27 mmol) was added and the mixture refluxed again for 2 h. Finally, ethanol was partially evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue neutralized with aqueous 2N HCl and extracted with EtOAc (3×15 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with 2N HCl (10 mL), saturated NaHCO3 (2×15 mL) and brine (3×10 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to yield a residue (1.65 g) which was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel, using a 6.5:4.5 hexane/EtOAc mixture as eluent, to give the title compound 3 (356 mg, 1.20 mmol, 15%).
