Bis(hydroxymethylation) of the active methylene group of 1,3-Dicarbouyl and related compounds

Treatment of dialkyl and di(aralkyl) malonates, alkyl cyano- and acetoacetates, and 1,3-diketones with formaldehyde in the presence of tertiary amines gives their 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl) derivatives in 59 to 96% yield.

Synthesis of caffeic acid esters

A new method for the preparation of caffeic acid esters was investigated. Ten caffeic acid esters were prepared by condensation of protocatechualdehyde with malonic acid mono-esters in moderate yield. Malonic acid mono-esters were prepared from the corresponding malonate di-esters. The conformations of compounds are trans (E) form.

One-Pot synthesis of 5-Alkylthio-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thiones: Advantages and scopes

The reaction of dialkyl malonate esters with P2S5/S8 in boiling xylene in the presence of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole/ZnO as catalyst produces 5-alkylthio-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thiones as major identifiable product. Moderate yields were obtained with malonate esters of primary alcohols. The reaction fails with malonate esters of secondary alcohols. Regarding the substituent in position two, dialkyl malonates with groups such as CH3, Ph, CH2Ph, OCH3 and Cl afford the corresponding 4-substituted derivatives whereas with Br and NO2 do not give the expected products. Some mechanistic evidences are described.
