Abstract
The condensation of active methylene compounds 1 with acetaldehyde was efficiently promoted by a catalytic amount of lithium bromide in the presence of acetic anhydride to give ethylidene malonates 2 in 77-97% yield.
Key words
Knoevenagel condensations - catalysis - aldol reactions - aldehydes - substituent effects

A partial conversion was observed after 12 h at 80 °C (1a:7 = 3:1). No trace of ethylidene diacetate 5 could be detected in the crude.
