Abstract
Abstract Procedures are described for the reaction of alkyl methanesulfonates with sodium diethyl malonate and for the conversion of the resulting 2-alkyl diethyl malonates to fatty acids having two methylene groups more than the starting material. These reactions proceed in excellent yields; cis, trans-isomerization and other alterations of double bonds do not occur.
