2-Allyl-2-methyl-1,3-cyclopentanediones and -cyclohexanediones 5 have been demonstrated to be isomerized under thermodynamic control or to be substituted by a malonate anion in the presence of a palladium catalyst. This nucleophile exchange, following a first palladium-mediated substitution of acrolein dimethyl acetal, gives a new access to methoxyallyl malonate 9.
