Reaction Steps

To a solution of NaH (652.8 mg, 16.32 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added methyl 2-chloro-6-formylbenzoate (2.7 g, 13.6 mmol) and ethyl 2-isocyanoacetate (1.55 g, 13.6 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) at 40° C. over a 20 minute period. The reaction mixture was stirred at 20° C. for an additional 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was subsequently diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous Na2CO3. The organic phase was concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography eluting with a gradient of EtOAc (0-90%) and PE to give the title compound (0.5 g, 15.6%). ESI-MS m/z [M+H]+ 252.1.
