Procedure

To a solution of 2-amino-6-chloro-3-nitrobenzonitrile (1.97 g, 10 mmol) and ethyl 2-methylacetoacetate (3.6 g, 25 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added finely powdered K2CO3, and the mixture stirred vigorously for 24 h. The deep red mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed in turn with 2 M HCl, water and brine. The residue after evaporation was purified by flash chromatography in hexane/EtOAc 3:1 to yield 2-(3-amino-2-cyano-4-nitrophenyl)-2-methyl-3-oxobutyric acid ethyl ester as an oil (1.39 g, 46%), MS (NH3 CI) 323 (M+NH4+), 293 (M+NH4−NO+).
