Alkylidenemalonates capable of double bond migration being electrolyzed in methanol or ethanol in the presence of alkali metal halides in an undivided cell equipped with Fe cathode are transformed into 2-alkyl-3,3-dimethoxyalkane-1,1-dicarboxylates in 70-90% yield via electrochemically induced oxidative rearrangement. Acidification of the reaction mixture after the electrolysis leads to the formation of 2-alkyl-3-oxoalkane-1,1-dicarboxylates. In the case of isobutylidenemalonate, the electrolysis intermediate dimethyl 3,3-dimethyl-2-methoxycyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate was isolated in 70% yield.
