Procedure

2.185 g (52.07 mmol) of lithium hydroxide are added to a suspension of 10.79 g (26.04 mmol) of 2,2-dimethyl-5,5-bis(4-nitrobenzyl)-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione and 110 ml mixture of tetrahydrofurane:water 9:1. The mixture is subsequently allowed to react for 21.5 hours at 25° C., added to 500 ml water and acidified to pH=1 with 20 ml hydrochloric acid 3N. The mixture is partitioned between water and ethyl acetate; the organic phase is washed repeatedly with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The residue 9.54 g (98%) of 2,2-bis(4-nitrobenzyl)malonic acid as white powder is used without further purification.
