Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-(Trifluoromethyl)thiobenzamide (20.5 g, 0.1 mol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (300 ml) at room temperature, and then methyl 2-chloroacetoacetate (12.2 ml, 0.1 mol) was added slowly for about 20 minutes therein while stirring. After completion of addition, the mixture was stirred again at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then the mixture was heated and refluxed at 78 to 80° C. for 12 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. Subsequently, 50% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (150 ml) was added and stirred for 20 minutes. The resultant organic layer was separated by extraction with ethyl acetate, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to thereby yield 28.8 g of the title compound (yield: 95.6%).
