Procedure

A solution of ethyl 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzimidate (1.3 g, 6.2 mmol, obtained after aqueous bicarbonate wash of Example 128C) in MeCN (2 mL) was added to a solution of sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate (3.4 g, 24.7 mmol), sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate (3.3 g, 12.4 mmol) and cyanamide (0.52 g, 12.4 mmol) in water (20 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then extracted with dichloromethane (3×15 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue contained about 30% of starting material. The residue was reprocessed with half the amounts of the reagents to drive the reaction to completion and that yielded 1.32 g (90%) of the title compound. MS (ESI+) m/z 239 (M+H)+.
