Crystal structure and identification of resonance forms of diethyl 2-(3-oxoiso-1,3-dihydrobenzofuran-1-ylidene)malonate

The reaction of diethyl malonate with phthaloyl chloride in acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine and magnesium chloride results in the formation of the title compound, diethyl 2-(3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-1-ylidene)propanedioate, C15H14O6. One of the ester groups of the diethyl malonat...
