Reaction Steps

A suspension of 5% rhodium on carbon (4.5 g) and diethyl phenylmalonate (30 g) in ethanol (100 ml) was hydrogenated at 60 psi for 18 hours. The suspension was filtered through celite and concentrated to a syrup (quant. yield). Distillation at 90°-94° C. (0.5 mmHg) afforded 28.2 g (92%) of the diethyl cyclohexylmalonate.
