Condensation of dimethyl malonate with benzal-4-acetyIanilines: A chemoselective reaction
Sidhu, Anjali,Rai, Mangat
experimental part, p. 735 - 736 (2009/12/24)
Dimethyl malonate has reacted chemoselectively with carbon- nitrogen double bond of benzal-4-acetylanilines (1-8) leaving the carbon-oxygen double bond, considered to be more reactive, intact under reaction conditions, leading to the formation of mono addition-elimination products rather than bis attack at both the double bonds, even when the reaction has been carried out with two moles of dimethyl malonate.
