Disclosed is a method of making 2-substituted-2-halo-1,3-propanediols via reduction of corresponding malonate compounds. Also disclosed is a method of making 2-substituted-2-halo-1,3-dicarbamate compounds (such as halo derivatives of felbamate, including fluorofelbamate) via reduction of malonate compounds, followed by carbamoylation. Reduction of the malonate compounds is carried out using an electrophilic hydride reagent.
