Abstract

The alkylation of ethyl nitromalonate (I) by gramine (11) under reaction conditions similar to those reported for the alkylation of ethyl nitroacetate2 gives ethyl a-nitro-a-carbethoxy-P- (34ndole)-propionate (111) in excellent yield. The structure of ethyl nitromalonate, in contrast to that of ethyl nitroacetate, excludes dialkylation2s3 as a possible side reaction and this, together
