Abstract

The course of decarbethoxylation reactions of 2-tetrahydrofuranyl-, 2-tetrahydrothienyl-, and 2-(1, 3-dithiany1)-substituted malonic esters 1-3 with NaCl/H20 in MezSO is shown to be dependent on the nature of the substituents at the a-carbon atom. In several instances, selective decarbethoxylation provides the monoesters 4-6. In other cases, stereoselective ring-opening reactions take place, leading to mixtures of a,(% and P, y-unsaturated esters. ...
