Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3 g of 4-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)-3-methylsulfonylaminophenol was dissolved in 15 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide. 420 mg of sodium hydride (purity: 60%) was added. The mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at 20-25° C. Then, 0.88 g of methyl propiolate was added dropwise in about 5 minutes so that the reaction temperature was maintained below 40° C. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at 30°-40° C. After the completion of the reaction, 50 ml of water and 50 ml of ethyl acetate were added thereto. The resulting mixture was adjusted to pH 4 with 4N hydrochloric acid. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution in this order, and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by a column chromatography (eluant: a 20:1 mixture of toluene and ethyl acetate) to obtain 1.2 g (yield: 31.6%) of methyl trans-3-[4-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)-3-methylsulfonylaminophenoxy]acrylate.
