2-oxo-3-aryl-succinates are not only important intermediates of organic and medical synthesis,but also good substances of direct asymmetric aldol additions using L-proline as a chiral catalyst.Nine new 2-oxo-3-aryl-succinates were synthesized,their structures were confirmed by IR and 1H NMR.2-oxo-3-aryl-succinates were produced in high yields under simple and mild reaction conditions.
