| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for production of substituted phenylmalonate esters of formula (I), where R = alkyl, Q = halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl or haloalkoxy and m = a whole number from 1 to 5, comprising steps A) and B): A) halogenation of compounds of formula (II), where the variables have the meanings given for formula (I) to give compounds of formula (III), B) hydrodechlorination of compounds of formula (III) to give substituted phenylmalonate esters of formula (I), novel phenylmalonate ester derivatives and use thereof as intermediates. |
