Ketone esters are designed to put the body in ketosis without doing the keto diet. They allow people to bypass keto flu and also still eat carbs. However, obesity specialist Dr. Spencer Nadolsky ...

Researchers at Toyohashi Tech have found that the SN2 reaction of alpha-chloro-beta-keto esters with phenols proceeded smoothly despite the fact that the reaction occurred at a tertiary carbon.

Next, the carbonyl group of the fluorinated alpha-keto ester transforms to a hydroxyl group. Again, two possible stereoisomers of the molecule could form.
