Reaction Steps

A 3-L 4-neck flask equipped with a thermocouple controller, a mechanical stirrer, a dropping funnel, and a nitrogen inlet/outlet adapter was charged with ethyl 3-((4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)phenyl)amino)-3-oxopropanoate (128.0 g, 370.2 mmol), EtOH (1.29 L), and KOH (27.7 g, 1444.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 24 h. Additional KOH (1.12 g, 0.04 eq.) was added and the reaction was stirred for an additional 6 h. The resulting yellowish thick slurry was dissolved in deionized water (1.2 L) and then poured into a 12-L 4-neck flask equipped with an overhead stirrer that contained ice-water (6 L) in an ice-water bath. The aqueous pH was adjusted to pH 2-3 using 2 N aqueous HCl solution with fast stirring at 8-10° C. for 20 min. The solid in the resulting milky slurry was collected by filtration, washed with deionized water (100 mL), dried under air-suction for 20 h and then in a vacuum oven at 60° C. under hi-vacuum (20 mmHg) for 72 h to yield 3-((4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)phenyl)amino)-3-oxopropanoic acid as a yellowish solid, which was used in the next step without further purification.
