Protonation of diazodiketones N2C(COR)2in Br?nsted superacids (TfOH, FSO3H, TfOH–SbF5) gives rise to stable and non-reactive O,O-diprotonated at carbonyl oxygens species N2C(C(=OH+)R)2, which were studied by means of1H and13C NMR. Diazomalonates N2C(CO2Alk)2, contrary to diazodiketones, react with TfOH or HF, releasing nitrogen and producing triflates of oxymalonates TfOCH(CO2Alk)2or fluoromalonates FCH(CO2Alk)2, respectively. Diazoketoesters N2C(COR)(CO2Alk) react in the same way only with TfOH, but not with HF. The reactions of diazomalonates with arenes ArH (benzene, toluene, xylenes) in TfOH solution yield corresponding Friedel–Crafts reaction products ArCH(CO2Alk)2. According to performed DFT calculations, trication+CH(C(=OH+)OMe)2, a possible intermediate, which is derived from protonation of dimethyl diazomalonate, should be the strongest cationic carbon-centered electrophile known up to date.

Palladium-catalyzed reactions of aryl bromides and chlorides with two common stabilized carbanions - enolates of dialkyl malonates and alkyl cyanoesters - are reported. An exploration of the scope of these reactions was conducted, and the processes were shown to occur in a general fashion. Using P(t-Bu)3 (1), the pentaphenylferrocenyl ligand (Ph5C5)Fe(C5H4)P(t-Bu) 2 (2), or the adamantyl ligand (1-Ad)P(t-Bu)2 (3), reactions of electron-poor and electron-rich, sterically hindered and unhindered aryl bromides and chlorides were shown to react with diethyl malonate, di-tertbutyl malonate, diethyl fluoromalonate, ethyl cyanoacetate, and ethyl phenylcyanoacetate. Although alkyl malonates and ethyl alkylcyanoacetates did not react with aryl halides using these catalysts, the same products were formed conveniently in one pot from diethylmalonate by cross-coupling of an aryl halide in the presence of excess base and subsequent alkylation.

Ester enolates are generated by reductive α-deacetoxylation of α-acetoxy-α-arylmalonic esters or α-acetoxy-α-arylalkanoic esters with lithium in liquid ammonia or sodium α-(dimethylamino)naphthalenide in hexamethylphosphoramide-benzene.Since the requisite α-acetoxy esters are available from aryl nucleophiles, the reductions provide effective new synthetic routes to arylmalonic esters and α-arylalkanoic esters.For example, 2-(p-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid (ibuprofen, a commercially important nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent) is obtained in 73percent yield overall from isobutylbenzene.Arenes, aryllithiums, or arylmagnesium halides react with α-keto esters, e.g., diethyl oxomalonate, ethyl pyruvate, methyl phenylglyoxalate, or alkyl glyoxylates, to afford α-hydroxy esters.These are acetylated with acetic anhydride-triethylamine and p-(dimethylamino)pyridine as a catalyst.Reductive α-deoxygenation then allows replacement of the acetoxy group by hydrogen or an alkyl group.
