Procedure

A solution of ethyl 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzimidate (1.3 g, 6.2 mmol, obtained after aqueous bicarbonate wash of Example 93D) in acetonitrile (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 for overnight and then extracted with CH2Cl2 (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)+.
