General description

Dimethyl malonate undergoes enantioselective palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution reaction with 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate to yield diastereomeric pure thienylpyridines.

Application

Dimethyl malonate was used in gold catalyzed oxidative esterification of glycerol, 1,2-propanediol and 1,3-propanediol.

Homoallylic esters are obtained in a single transformation from allyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl malonates by using a Pd(0) catalyst. Facile decarboxylation of allyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl malonates is attributed to a decrease in pK(a) compared to allyl methyl malonates. Subsequent reduction of the homoallylic
