The reaction of some α-substituted malonic esters with Triton B in DMSO to give the corresponding α-substituted carboxylic esters is reported.

The study on reactivity of severalαsubstituted αsulfonyl malonates toward 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and Bu3N is described. The reactivity with DABCO revealed the possible competition between decarbalkoxylation and unexpected desulfonylation, depending on the-substituent, because of sterical hindrance around the electrophilic centers (SO2 and CO2R). The derivatives with crowded α-substituents suffer selective desulfonylation, and a novel and efficient desulfonylation method can be proposed. The dependence of the reactivity ofα-sulfonyl malonates on the sterical hindrance around the electrophilic centers is confirmed by conformational analysis (Macromodel/MM2* and Mopac/MP3). The carbanionic mechanism is proved because the corresponding protonated, deuterated, and sulfenylated products were obtained by addition of the corresponding electrophilic agents. Bu3N showed itself to be a novel selective decarbalkoxylation agent for any-substituted-sulfonyl malonate.

Starting from alkyl- or aryl-substituted malonic esters prepared by various methods, 2-(methylthio)alkanoic acids are synthesized by successive treatment with sodium ethoxide and with S-methyl methanethiosulfonate, followed by alkaline hydrolysis which causes concurrent decarboxylation.Production of 2-(phenylthio)alkanoic acids is also achieved in a similar manner.
