Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To ethanol (180 ml) was added sodium ethoxide solution (38 ml of a 21% wt solution in ethanol), benzamidine hydrochloride (5.0 g) and diethylmethylmalonate (4.91 ml). The suspension was stirred at 40° C. in an inert atmosphere for 22 hrs after which time it was cooled to 5° C. (ice bath) and treated dropwise with concentrated hydrochloric acid to a pH of 2.5. The resulting pink suspension was filtered and washed with excess water. Purification by recrystallisation from boiling acetic acid (300 ml) afforded the title compound (4.22 g) after filtration and washing with ethanol (20 ml) and diethyl ether (20 ml).
