Derivatives of iminomalonic ester

The synthesis of (alkylimino)malonic esters was realized by the reaction of alkylamines with mesoxalic or dibromomalonic ester. (Halogenoimino)malonic esters were obtained for the first time by the reaction of aminomalonic ester with tert-butyl hypochlorite or sodium hypobromite. A new method was developed for the synthesis of (acylimino)malonic esters by the successive bromination and dehydrobromination of (acylamino)malonic esters. The addition of various nucleophiles (water, amines, formamide) at the C=N bond of (acylimino)malonic esters was studied.
