15. [6, 7] The ester group helps to stablize the carbanion intermediate and it remains intact in the arylation reaction. By comparison, in the present decarboxylative coupling the carboxylate group is removed during the reaction and it does not stablize the intermediate. Therefore, the present reaction is conceptually different from the arylation reactions of ethyl cyanoacetate.
