An efficient catalytic protocol for Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of potassium malonate monoesters and derivatives with aryl bromides and chlorides are described. Because of its broad applicability, this new catalytic system provides an alternative method for the preparation of diverse aryl acetic acids and derivatives.
Synthesis of substituted benzyl 2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl ethers and their moth-proofing activity on wool against larvae of Anthrenus fasciatus

Synthesis of new moth-proofing agents is necessary to overcome the damage caused by clothes moths and carpet beetles to hosiery and upholstery. In the present paper substituted benzyl 2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl ethers were synthesised and evaluated for moth-proofing activity. Two compounds were found to provide protection against larvae of Anthrenus fasciatus at levels of 1.0 and 10 g kg-1 respectively. The introduction of a methyl group in the para position of the benzene ring attached to C2 of the 2-methylpropyl chain (ring A) increased moth-proofing activity. The introduction of a phenoxy ring at the meta position of the benzyl nucleus (ring B) also increased activity, while the presence of a nitro group on the benzyl nucleus (ring B) decreased activity.
