Procedure

To a solution of dibenzyl malonate (10.0 g, 35.0 mmol) in diethyl ether (20 mL) were added ammonium acetate (270 mg, 3.5 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (6.9 g, 39 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. Saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (100 mL) and ethyl acetate (100 mL) were added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous potassium carbonate solution (100 mL) and saturated brine (10 mL) and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the insoluble material was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=0/100→50/50) to give the title compound (3.8 g, 29%) as a brown oil.
