Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-chlorobenzimidamide (5 g, 32.34 mmol) in ethanol (90 mL) was treated with ethyl-2-cyclohexaneonecarboxylate (6.3 g, 40.43 mmol) and sodium methoxide (2.1 g, 38.81 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 85° C. for 18 h. After this time, the reaction mixture was cooled and concentrated to a volume of approximately 50 mL. Then, 2.0 M HCl (68 mL) was added slowly. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with water and ether, and the residue was dried on a high vacuum overnight to afford the title compound (2.2 g, crude) as a light yellow solid. MW=260.72. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 12.64 (s, 1H), 8.16-8.10 (m, 1H), 8.08-7.99 (m, 1H), 7.66-7.57 (m, 1H), 7.54 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 2.66-2.55 (m, 2H), 2.44-2.33 (m, 2H), 1.84-1.61 (m, 4H); APCI MS m/z 261 [M+H]+.
