• . The above results encouraged us to investigate further reactions. Under similar reaction conditions, diethyl malonate was treated with iodobenzene to give the desired product in 78% yield (Scheme 3). The reaction was then repeated with a variety of aryl halides. The results are summarized in Table 4
