General description

Dimethyl bromomalonate undergoes manganese(III)-promoted free-radical chain addition reaction with olefins, to yield dimethyl 2-bromoalkylmalonates. Organocatalyzed Michael addition of dimethyl bromomalonate to nitrostyrenes to yield synthetically useful nitrocyclopropanes has been reported. Dimethyl bromomalonate reacts readily with arylnitroso compounds to yield the corresponding N-aryl-C,C-dimethoxycarbonylnitrones.

Application

Dimethyl bromomalonate may be used in the enantioselective synthesis of nitrocyclopropanes.

Highly enantioselective synthesis of nitrocyclopropanes was achieved via the organocatalytic conjugate addition of dimethyl bromomalonate to nitroalkenes and the consequent intramolecular cyclopropanation. 6'-Demethyl quinine was found to be the efficient catalyst. Excellent enantioselectivities, diastereoselectivities, and good yields were obtained for
