The invention relates to a method for producing 6,6-dialkoxy-5-hydroxy-3-oxo-hexanoic acid esters of general formula (I), wherein the di-anion of an acetoacetic acid alkyl ester is reacted with an aldehyde. The 6,6-dialkoxy-5-hydroxy-3-oxo-hexanoic acid esters of general formula (I) are important synthesis building blocks for producing HMG-CoA-reductase-inhibitors. |
