Procedure

A quantity of 136.20 g (0.42 mole) of 21 wt.% sodium ethoxide in ethanol is added to a stirred solution of 90.14 g (0.415 mole) of diethyl acetamidomalonate (Aldrich) in 800 mL of absolute ethanol. A solution of the benzyl chloride derivative of Example 38 in 500 mL of absolute ethanol is added and the mixture is heated at reflux for 2 hours. The cooled mixture is poured into 4 L of ice and water containing 20.0 g of glacial acetic acid. The supernatant is decanted from the separated gum. The gum is dissolved in 2 L of ether, the solution dried (magnesium sulfate), and concentrated to ca 300 mL volume. Petroleum ether (100 mL) is added to precipitate 107.1 g (66.4% yield) of pure crystalline product; mp 94°-96° C.
