Replacement of hydrogen by halogen or thiocyanate 179<br />

just boils, very good yields of substituted bromomalonic acids are obtained<br />

This method is exemplified in <strong>Organic</strong> Syntheses 519 by the synthesis of<br />

2-bromo-3-phenylpropionic acid which is important for preparation of<br />
