Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-(2-azidoethoxy)acetoacetate (46.4 g), prepared from 2-azidoethanol similarly to the method described in Preparation 3, was reacted with methyl 3-aminocrotonate (24.8 g) and 2-chlorobenzaldehyde (30.3 g) in methanol (150 ml) at reflux for 18 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the resulting solid was collected, washed twice with methanol and dried to give the title compound (28 g). The product could be crystallised from methanol, acetone or ethyl acetate. It was used directly.
