Abstract
Abstract Bis(trimethylsilyl) malonate is acylated in good yields with acid chlorides and acyl carbonates using triethylamine and magnesium or lithium salts to give β-keto acids or methyl ketones. Compared to other procedures, which use strong bases, this method is inexpensive, safe and convenient; especially for large scale reactions.
