If I could meet you in person, I'd give you a big hug

Vishal! I’d give you one right back, but I’ll take the virtual hug 👍 thanks for being a jOeCHEMist!

Why we cannot use alpha-halo carboxylic acid instead of alpha-halo malonic ester?Is it because the nitrogen at phthalimide would react as a base to deprotonate carboxylic acid rather than act as nucleophile to kick off leaving gp.

Why does only one of the -COOH’s come off during the hydrolysis step? Why not both?
