Reaction Steps

To the p-chlorobenzalpyruvic acid from step A in wet ethyl acetate was added triethylamine (11.1 g, 0.11 moL) at a rate less than 0.5 mL/min followed by azeotropic removal of water. Ethyl chloroformate (11.9 g, 0.11 moL) was then added at room temperature over a one hour period and the batch aged one hour to effect complete reaction. Workup followed, as in Example 1, to afford ethyl p-chlorobenzalpyruvate in 99% yield.
