Abstract

The fact that ethyl methylmalonate gave yields of SO% in the Michael condensation with benzalacetophenone2 while ethyl phenylmalonate did not condense3 brought to mind several questions concerning the influence of structure upon the ease with which the reaction occurs. In particular, for the bearing of these facts upon future work in this field, it seemed advisable to investigate (1) the modification in the reactivity of the addendum ...
