... Arie L. Gutma*' and Aviv Boltanski Department of Chemistry, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Haifa 32000, Israel Summary. ... l).* We observed, however, that when half esters of malonic acid (1) were treated with equimolar amounts of various chloroformates (2) and triethylamine under the standard conditions, decarboxylation occurred and mixed diesters of malonic acid (3_) were obtained in nearly quantitative yields (Eq. ...
