Reaction Steps

A solution of m-anisidine (10 g), ethyl benzoylacetate (19 g) and pyridine (2 drops) in xylene (20 mL) was heated to reflux for 5 hr. The mixture was cooled to r.t. and concentrated. The residual material was subjected to chromatography (silica gel; hexane/EtOAc (4:1)), affording the title compound as an oil.
