Pyridine → Ethyl 3-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenylamino)-2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The ester was prepared according to Procedure A using diethyl 2-methylmalonate (5.32 mL, 30.9 mmol), pyridine (3.33 mL, 41.2 mmol) and 2-chloro-3-fluoroaniline (3.00 g, 20.61 mmol) over 7 days. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (0-30% EtOAc/hexanes) to give ethyl 3-(2-chloro-3-fluorophenylamino)-2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate as a red oil. Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/e=274.0 (M+1).
