Abstract

Abstract A new synthetic method for the preparation of cyclic malonic acid monoesters in aqueous media was developed based on the combination of a metathesis reaction and subsequent biocatalytic hydrolysis with a pig liver esterase in a one-pot synthesis. Both reaction steps proceed smoothly under optimized conditions in aqueous media requiring only a low amount of the metal catalyst for the metathesis reaction. Notably, the applied ...
