Synthesis of Malonates from 3-Halopropynoates, Alcohols, and Water Using DABCO

Abstract

A new 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) mediated synthesis of malonates from 3-halopropynoates, alcohols, and water is presented. This method proceeds under mild and metal-free conditions, and represents a new straightforward access to 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.

Key words

DABCO - alcoholysis - 3-halopropynoates - alcohols - malonates
