13bs) 6.8 g of monoethyl malonate potassium salt in 70 ml of acetonitrile were cooled to 10° under argon and treated with 5.3 ml of triethylamine and 4.8 g of magnesium chloride. The resulting thick suspension was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. Then, it was again cooled to 10° and 5 g of 4-bromo-2-chloro-benzoyl chloride were added dropwise thereto over 30 min. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hrs. and then concentrated. Extraction: twice with 100 ml of toluene, once with 100 ml of cold 1N HCl and twice with 100 ml of water. After drying and evaporation there were obtained 5.2 g (85%) of ethyl 3-(4-bromo-2-chlorophenyl)-3-oxo-propionate as a brown oil which crystallized in a refrigerator. M.p. 34° C.
