Abstract

The malonic ester synthesis is one of the most fundamental methodologies in organic synthesis. 1 The reaction has been widely used for the preparation of mono-and disubstituted acetic acids via mono-and dialkylation, respectively, and subsequent hydrolysis and decarboxylation. The presence of two acidic hydrogens in the starting compound, however, sometimes causes difficulty in applying this methodology in organic ...
