title: The synthesis and structure of substituted dimenthyl malonate derivatives.
abstract: A series of substituted dimenthyl malonate derivatives were efficiently synthesized from dimenthyl malonate using a deprotonation and alkylation strategy. The elucidation of the structure of these derivatives were determined by a combination of X-ray crystallography, NMR and IR spectroscopy.
