In the presence of triphenylarsine and catalytic amount of Rh2(OAc)4, one pot reactions with carbonyl compounds and dimethyl diazomalonate give the corresponding alkylidene and arylidene malonates in moderate to excellent yields (59%~99%). The scope of the carbonyl compounds covered a broad range, including aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and ketone. The reaction was easily scaled up to gram scale with 0.5 mol% rhodium catalyst loading. The preliminary mechanistic studies showed that the olefination proceeded via a rhodium-carbene transformed arsonium ylide pathway.
