Dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate → HCID 12437416, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (85.26 g, 0.6 mol) and 5-(p-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-one (33.63 g, 0.15 mol) were heated as given above for 15 hours. Crystallization of the brown solid from methanol (2X) gave little improvement in purity. The brown solid was decolorized in ethyl acetate solution and recrystallized (3X) to give 12.2 g (0.0378 mol, 25.2%) of dark gold solid, m.p. 142°-143°.
