resulting compound was considered as a starting material for synthesizing 2-(perfluorophenyl)malonicacid by hydrolysis. It was found that the desired 2-(perfluorophenyl)malonicacid could not be obtained from this ester by hydrolysis, neither under basic nor under acidic conditions. Nevertheless

2-Phenylmalonic acid (1) and its esters are useful and versatile intermediates in the synthesis of many practically important compounds, e.g
range by fluorination (directly or indirectly) of initial organic molecules. In the ongoing project, we are interested in synthesizing 2-(perfluorophenyl)malonicacid (2, Figure 1) as a new ligand for the preparation of 3d and 4f heterometallic coordination compounds.
