Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of benzyl 3-chloro-4-nitrophenyl ether (48.2 g, 0.183 mole), 2-aminopropionaldehyde dimethyl acetal (65.3 g, 0.55 mole), potassium carbonate (101 g, 0.73 mole) and toluene in dry dimethyl sulfoxide, under nitrogen, is stirred at 99°-105° C. for 20 hours, cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filter cake is washed with ether. The combined filtrates are mixed with ice water. The phases are separated and the aqueous phase is extracted with ether. The ether extracts are combined with the organic phase. The combined organic phase is washed with six portions of water, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give an oil residue which is crystallized in methanol to afford the title product as a yellow solid, 39.6 g (64.5%). A sample is recrystallized from methanol to afford a yellow solid, mp 57°-62° C., identified by elemental and NMR analyses.
