CuI/l-Proline-Catalyzed Coupling Reactions of Aryl Halides with Activated Methylene Compounds

Abstract
The arylation of ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl benzoyl acetate, and diethyl malonate under the catalysis of CuI/l-proline in DMSO proceeds smoothly at 40−50 °C in the presence of Cs2CO3 to provide the 2-aryl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in good yields. Both aryl iodides and aryl bromides are compatible with these reaction conditions.
