Abstract
The alkylation of diethyl malonate and ethyl cyanoacetate using powdered potassium carbonate asa base in the absence of solvent and other catalyst is studied. The features of this method are: simple preparative procedure, reproducible yield and easy control of monoalkylation. The reaction mechanism is discussed briefly.
