Reaction Steps

A 5-L 4-neck flask equipped with a thermocouple controller, a mechanical stirrer, a condenser, and a nitrogen inlet/outlet adapter was charged with (4-aminophenyl)(4-chlorophenyl)methanone (86.6 g, 370.1 mmol), DCM (2.61 L), and Et3N (70.3 mL, 499.6 mmol). After the solution was cooled to 5° C. in an ice-bath, ethyl 3-chloro-3-oxopropanoate (64.5 mL, 407.1 mmol) was added dropwise over 60 min. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. Additional ethyl 3-chloro-3-oxopropanoate (12.9 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for an additional 2 h. The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and ice-water (2 L) was added, followed by solid K2CO3 (60 g) until the solution was basic (pH=9-10). After phase separation, the organic layer was concentrated at 40° C. (to remove DCM) and then at 60° C. (to remove ex Et3N) to yield ethyl 3-((4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)phenyl)amino)-3-oxopropanoate as a slightly yellowish solid, which was used in the next step without further purification.
