Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by the same procedure as described in example 1 for 1a (R2 = R3 = H), using triethyl 1,1,2-ethanetricarboxylate (9.85 g; 0.04 mole), NaH (1.6 g; 0.04 mole) and 2-nitro-6-methylbenzyl chloride (7.4 g; 0.04 mole) in 20 ml. 10% dimethylformamide (DMF) in benzene. The crude product so obtained was used directly in the next step without further purification.
