Hydrochloric Acid → Ethyl 2-ethoxy-2-iminoacetate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A hydrogen chloride gas was introduced into a diethyl ether solution of an equimolar mixture of ethyl cyanoformate and ethanol at 0° C. or lower, and a precipitated crystal was filtered out and washed with diethyl ether to obtain ethyl ethoxycarbonylformimidate hydrochloride [H5C2O2CC(OC2H5)=NH.HCl]. 5.4 g of this hydrochloride, 40 ml of acetic acid, 5.0 g of phenacylamine hydrochloride (the same as used in Synthesis Example 2) and 4.85 g of anhydrous sodium acetate were mixed and reacted with stirring at 90° to 100° C. for 4 hours.
