Fluorination of Malonic Esters 1; General Procedure
Diethyl 2-Fluoro-2-methylmalonate (2f)10
PhIO (550 mg, 2.5 mmol), Et N·5HF (800 mg, 4 mmol), and DCE (1 mL)
Yield: 18%; colorless oil. This compound could not be isolated purely
and the yield was determined by H NMR spectroscopy using 1,4-di-
methoxybenzene as an internal standard.

appropriate malonic ester 1 (1 mmol) and DCE (1 mL) were added.
The test tube was sealed with a septum rubber and heated at 70 °C for

PhIO (275 mg, 1.25 mmol) and DCE (1.5 mL) were placed in a 15 mL
test tube. After adding concd HCl (5 mmol), additional DCE (2 mL)
was introduced. After stirring at r.t. for 15 min, the appropriate malo-
nic ester 1 (0.5 mmol) and DCE (4 mL) were added. The test tube was
sealed with a septum rubber and heated at 70 °C for 2 h with stirring.
