Abstract: An important precursor of nafronyl oxalate, diethyl(1-naphthylmethyl)-tetrahy-drofurfurylmalonate(Ⅴ) has been synthesised by using diethyl malonate(Ⅰ), furfural(Ⅱ) and 1-(chloromethyl) naphthalene as starting materials. Anew catalyst system, NaH/DMF, is applied to the alkylation of naphthylmethyl chloride and diethyl tetrahydrofurfurylmalonate(Ⅳ) with satisfactory results. Compared with previous methods, it has a higher yield and shorter reaction time. Other alkylation catalysts are investigated as well.
