Microwave enhanced Knoevenagel condensation of malonic acid on basic alumina

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708005456

An improved Knoevenagel condensation of malonic acid and aldehydes can be achieved by microwave irradiation over alumina. A number of diacids were prepared in good yields in very short reaction times.
