Hi Ingo,
I thought I had done that, but if you were still able to do it, I guess, it did not go through, strange, but thanks.
Ingo Dierkschnieder Nov 25, 2005:
Hi Sigrid, habe den Glossary-Eintrag in methyl acetoacetate ge�ndert. Methyl acetoacetate ester macht keinen Sinn, da im acetate bereits der Ester drinsteckt.
Dirgis (X) (asker) Nov 25, 2005:
Of course, you are right Cilian
Cilian O'Tuama Nov 25, 2005:
maybe leave the question open much longer next time?
Dirgis (X) (asker) Nov 25, 2005:
Should be methyl acetoacetate ester,as I was able to confirm, methyl acetoacetic ester has NO google hits.
Dirgis (X) (asker) Nov 25, 2005:
Acetessigs�uremethylester sorry about the mixed up title:
is it methyl acetoacetate? Can anyone confirm?

Sigrid is right as well: methyl acetoacetate is another word for it:

Sorry that was my mistake, of course it should be methyl acetoacetate ester, as the first reference also shows.

Actually, I'll take that back: methyl acetoacetic ester (which does indeed have google hits, see the chembuyersguide link) is right, methyl acetoacetate ester doesn't make any sense. Meaning: methyl acetoacetate or methyl acetoacetic ester.
