Procedure

To a solution of diethyl benzylmalonate (20.0 g, 80 mmol) in ethanol (500 mL) was added potassium hydroxide (4.7 g, 84 mmol) as pellets. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 h, and concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in water (300 mL), transferred to a separatory funnel, and washed with ether (2×150 mL). The aqueous solution was acidified to pH˜2 by adding conc. HCl, and extracted with ether (2×400 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness in vacuo, yielding the title compound as an oil residue (16.9 g, 95%) which was used without further purification.
