Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a hot (60° C.) solution of cyanoacetamide (546 mg) in 20 ml of ethanol, 6.47 ml of a methanolic solution of NaOH (1N) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 20 minutes. A solution of 3-bromo-5-(trichlorovinyl)benzyl azide (1.02 g) in 10 ml of ethanol was added and the reaction mixture heated at 60° C. for two hours. The pH of the solution was adjusted to ~6 with acetic acid and then concentrated to a small volume. Dilution with 50 ml of water afforded a precipitate which was washed thoroughly with water. The precipitate was recrystallized from 8 ml of ethanol to give 466 mg of pure product, m.p. 175°-177° C..
