Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a mixture of 3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (40 mL, 0.32 mmol) and diethyl ethoxymethylmalonate was heated at 100° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature at which time the solution solidified to provide 102 g of diethyl 2-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)anilino]methylene}malonate as a cream colored solid.
