Procedure
10.0 g of 1,1-cyclopropanedicarboxylic acid and 12.4 g of 4-trifluoromethylaniline were added to 15 ml of acetonitrile, followed by refluxing for 7 hours with heating and stirring. The subsequent operation was conducted in the same manner as in Example 2 to obtain 7.1 g of an intended compound at a yield of 38.8%.
