Abstract

A process for the production of 1,3-cyclopentanedione, which is a versatile intermediate product for numerous active ingredient syntheses. For this purpose, a malonic acid ester is reacted with a haloalkoxybutenoic acid ester, the resultant bis-(alkoxycarbonyl)alkoxypentenoic acid ester is cyclized to alkoxycarbonyl alkoxycyclopentenone, the ester function is saponified, and finally the intermediate is decarboxylated to the end product.
