Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation of malonic esters in acetonitrile in the presence of iodides follows two different pathways depending on the nature of the cation. In the presence of Lil, alkyl 1,1,2,2,3,3-propanetetracarboxylates were obtained in 85–98% yields. In the presence of Nal, Kl, or Bu4NI, the formation of 1,1,2,2-ethanetetracarboxylates and their subsequent dehydrogenation to ethenetetracarboxylates was the main reaction pathway.
