Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-3-methylbenzamide (1.50 g, 10.0 mmol) and DIEA (2.61 mL, 15 mmol) in THF (50 mL) at 0° C. was added ethyl chlorooxoacetate (1.23 mL, 11.0 mmol). The solution was allowed to warm to rt and stir for 16 h, then was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 20-100% EtOAc/hexanes to afford ethyl 2-(2-carbamoyl-6-methylphenylamino)-2-oxoacetate as a solid (490 mg, 20%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.31 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 2.17 (s, 3H), 4.30 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 7.28 (t, 1H), 7.33-7.57 (m, 3H), 7.82 (s, 1H), 10.67 (s, 1H).
