Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flask made of glass equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, a reflux condenser and a dropping funnel and having an inner volume of 100 ml were charged 3.03 g (21.9 mmol) of potassium carbonate, 5.0 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide, 2.17 g (21.7 mmol) of methyl cyanoacetate with a purity of 99% and 1.45 g (8.94 mmol) of 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene with a purity of 98% under argon atmosphere, and under stirring, the mixture was reacted at 60° C. for 6 hours. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, 50 ml of ethyl acetate was added to the mixture, and 2.9 ml (34.8 mmol) of 12 mol/l hydrochloric acid was gradually added dropwise to the mixture while stirring. Then, the organic layer was separated, and washed successively with 20 ml of water and 30 ml a saturated saline solution in this order, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting concentrate was purified by silica gel column chromatography (filler: Daisogel 1002W, eluent: toluene) to obtain 1.81 g (isolation yield: 84%) of methyl 2-(5-fluoro-2-nitrophenyl)-2-cyanoacetate as a yellowish oily product with a purity of 99% (areal percentage by high performance liquid chromatography).
