Diethyl fluorophenylmalonate

A-Fluoro-2,4,6-tnmethylpyndmium inflate (1 mmol) is added m several portions at room temperature to a tetrahydrofuran solution of sodium diethyl phenyl-malonate, obtained from 1 mmol of diethyl phenyl malonate and sodium hydnde at 0 C in tetrahydrofuran The reaction imxture is poured mto dilute hydrochlonc acid and extracted with ether The ether extract is washed with sodium bicarbonate and water and dned over magnesium sulfate The oily residue obtamed after removal of tihe ether is chromatographed on sihca gel (dichloromethane-hexane, 1 1) to give diethyl fluorophenylmalonate in 83% yield...
