Hydrochloric Acid → Benzyl 5-cyano-2,4-dioxo-3-azaspiro[5,5]undecane-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.41 g of dibenzylmalonate, 30 ml of toluene and 0.58 g of 60% sodium hydride in mineral oil are placed in a 100 ml flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, thermometer and condenser, in a nitrogen atmosphere. After 15 minutes, 1.97 g of cyclohexylidenecyanoacetamide are added. The reaction mixture is left under agitation for 6 hours at 25° C. and is then acidified with 36% HCl. The organic phase is separated and the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 3.18 g of benzyl 5-cyano-2,4-dioxo-3-azaspiro[5,5]undecane-1-carboxylate.
