Reaction Steps

A solution of NaNO2 (1.66 g, 24 mmol) in H2O (5 mL) was added dropwise at 0° C. to a mixture of 2-fluoroaniline (1.93 mL, 20 mmol) and 6 M HCl aqueous solution (20 mL, 120 mmol). After stirring for 15 min, the resulting aqueous solution was added to a suspension of methyl 4-methoxyacetoacetate (2.59 mL, 20 mmol) and NaOAc (9.84 g, 120 mmol) in MeOH (40 mL) pre-cooled at 0° C. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with AcOEt. The extract was washed with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution and brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from hexane/AcOEt to give the title compound (5.03 g, 94% yield) as pale yellow crystals: mp 121-126° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ ppm 3.51 (3H, s), 3.94 (3H, s), 4.68 (2H, s), 7.08-7.25 (3H, m), 7.63 (1H, dt, J=1.5, 7.9 Hz), 13.06 (1H, br s). Anal. Calcd for C12H13FN2O4: C, 53.73; H, 4.88; N, 10.44. Found: C, 53.69; H, 4.96; N, 10.47.
