malonic ester synthesis
« on: May 23, 2008, 08:23:08 AM »
when making substituted acetic acids from malonates is it possible to used aqueos sulphuric acid instead of aqueous HCL to decarboxylate a diester?

I want to do the following reaction using sulphuric acid instead of HCL:

PhCHCHC(CO2Et)2     +  HCL  +  heat  =   PhCHCHCOOH

would that work?

cheers
