Literature References

Employed by Rathke: J. Org. Chem., 50, 2622 (1985), to enhance the apparent base strength of triethylamine in the promotion of acylation reactions of dialkyl malonates (see Diethyl­ malonate, A15468, and Dimethyl­ malonate, A11007), or Ethyl­ potassium malonate, A10720. Other metal salts were ineffective in the malonate acylation reaction. See Triethyl­amine, A12646, for further discussion of the effect of metal salts on base-promoted reactions. In combination with NaI and triethylamine, promotes the carboxylation of ketones with CO 2 at atmospheric pressure: J. Org. Chem., 50, 4877 (1985). The reaction involves the in situ formation of MgI 2, and has been extended to a preparation of ß -ketoamides from ketones and isocyanates: Synth. Commun., 19, 59 (1989). A highly activated form of Mg metal has been generated by treating MgCl 2 with Li metal: J. Org. Chem., 48, 4141 (1983); 52, 3674 (1987).
