Procedure

At 50° C., (2-cyano-5-nitro-phenylamino)-acetic acid methyl ester (0.5 g, 2.1 mmol) was heated in acetyl chloride (100 mL) for 3 hours in the presence of catalytic DMAP. The mixture was poured over ice and then partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 ml) and water (50 ml). The organic layer was washed once with 1 M NaOH (100 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate. Concentration and silica gel purification (EtOAc/hexanes 9:1) gave [acetyl-(2-cyano-5-nitro-phenyl)-amino]-acetic acid methyl ester (0.5 g, 1.8 mmol, 86%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.59 (d, 1H), 8.36 (dd, 1H), 7.99 (d, 1H), 3.9 (b, 2H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 2.00 (s, 3H).
