Abstract
Abstract Diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (EMME) is unexpectedly converted into diethyl 2-(1,1 -dialkyl and diarylmethyl) malonate derivatives by a classical Grignard reaction. Addition of organocuprates to EMME gave diethyl 2-(l-ethoxyalkyl) malonate derivatives. The yields range from 42-63%.
