Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

35.0 ml (0.25 mol-1.8 equiv.) of triethylamine were added dropwise to a solution, cooled to 0° C., of 33.18 g (0.14 mol) of 4-nitrobenzyl acetoacetate and 30.40 g (0.15 mol) of p-toluenesulphonyl azide in 280 ml of anhydrous acetonitrile. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours, and the resultant precipitate was then filtered off under suction, washed with ether and dried in a high vacuum over P4O10. 20.3 g (55% of theory) of the title compound were obtained as colorless crystals, melting point: 132° C. A further 6.3 g (17% of theory) of the title compound were obtained by chromatography of the filtrate solution on 400 g of silica gel (toluene:ethyl acetate=9:1), Rf =0.35 (toluene:ethyl acetate=9:1).
