Diethyl (ethoxymethylene)malonate → HCID 86628010, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromo-3-fluoroaniline (56.6 g, 297.87 mmol) and 1,3-diethyl 2-(ethoxymethylidene)propanedioate (72.45 g, 335.06 mmol) in EtOH (560 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool, the solids collected by filtration and dried in an oven to afford the desired material (90 g, 84%) as an off-white solid which was used without further purification. NMR Spectrum: 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.26 (6H, q), 4.14 (2H, q), 4.22 (2H, q), 7.18-7.25 (1H, m), 7.57 (1H, dd), 7.64-7.7 (1H, m), 8.33 (1H, d), 10.62 (1H, d). Mass Spectrum: m/z (ES+)[M+H]+=360.
