Reductive dimerization of alkylidenemalonates using samarium(II) diiodide and 1H-NMR behavior of the dimers, 2,3-diaryl-1,1,4,4-butanetetracarboxylates

Alkylidenemalonates were readily dimerized in the presence of SmI2 to give 2,3-disubstituted 1,1,4,4-butanetetracarboxylates as mixtures of meso and racemic isomers in moderate to good yields. The structure of the less polar isomer of tetraethy

Efforts to generate organomanganese reagents under ball-milling conditions have led to the serendipitous discovery that manganese metal can mediate the reductive dimerization of arylidene malonates. The newly uncovered process has been optimized and its mechanism explored using CV measurements, radical trapping experiments, EPR spectroscopy, and solution control reactions. This unique reactivity can also be translated to solution whereupon pre-milling of the manganese is required.

Mg-promoted reduction of ethyl cinnamate (1a) in the presence of carbon dioxide gave a mixture of β-carboxylated compound 2a and α,β-dicarboxylated compound 3a. Similar reductive carboxylation of 1a followed by acidic decarboxylation of one of the two geminal carboxyl groups of the generated 3a and esterification afforded selective formation of diethyl phenylsuccinate (2a) in good yield.
