by the color disappearance of a wet iodide-starch test paper treated with an
aliquot of the reaction media15), the product was extracted with CH2Cl2
(2 Â 15 mL) and the organic layer was subsequently washed with saturated
solution of NaHSO3, water, and then dried (Na2SO4). After filtration and
evaporation of the solvent at reduced pressure, the product was characterized
by standard analytical techniques. Selected analytical data: Diethyl 2,2-
dibromomalonate: dH (CDCl3, 200 MHz) = 1.32 (t, 1H, J 7.03 Hz), 4.33 (q, 2H, J
7.03 Hz) ppm. dC (CDCl3, 50 MHz) = 13.7, 50.7, 64.8, 163.2 ppm. Ethyl 2,2-
dichloroacetoacetate: dH (CDCl3, 200 MHz) = 1.31 (t, 1H, J 7.00 Hz), 2.46 (s, 3H),
4.33 (q, 2H, J 7.00 Hz) ppm. dC (CDCl3, 50 MHz) = 14.0, 23.6, 64.8, 82.0, 163.5,

20. General procedure for monohalogenation of b-dicarbonyl compounds: To a
stirred solution of the b-dicarbonyl compound (2 mmol) in the appropriate
solvent (30 mL—see Table 3) was added the trihaloisocyanuric acid
(0.34 mmol) at room temperature in small portions. After the end of the
reaction (determined by the color disappearance of a wet iodide-starch test
paper treated with an aliquot of the reaction media15), the workup was similar
to that described above. Selected analytical data. Ethyl 2-bromoacetoacetate: dH
(CDCl3, 200 MHz) = 1.30 (t, 3H, J 6.92 Hz), 2.42 (s, 3H), 4.25 (q, 2H, J 6.92 Hz),
