Reaction Steps

A solution of 3,4-diethoxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (1.2 mL, 8.12 mmol) and 3-hydroxy-4-aminobenzonitrile (1.25 g, 8.11 mmol) in ethanol was heated at 85° C. for overnight. A tan precipitates forms. The solid was filtered, and collected. 1.12 g (53%) of 3-ethoxy-4-(2-hydroxy-4-cyanoanilino)-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione was obtained. LC/MS(H+) 259
