Reaction Steps

Diethyl oxalate (2.35 g., 16.1 millimoles), sodium methoxide (10 mg) and 2-aminonaphthalene-3-carboxamide (1.50 g., 8.05 millimoles) are mixed together and heated at reflux for 2 days. The mixture is then cooled in an ice bath and the brown precipitate recovered by filtration. It is recrystallized from ethanol to give 1.76 g. (79% yield) of the desired ester. M.P. 240°-242°C.
