Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.4 g (0.01 mol) of ethyl 3-dimethylaminoacrylate, 15 ml of ethyl acetate and 1.4 ml (0.01 mol) of triethylamine were loaded and cooled to 5° C., and a liquid mixture of 3.5 g (0.011 mol) of 2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methyl-6-nitrobenzoyl chloride and 5 ml of ethyl acetate was added dropwise while the temperature was maintained at 0 to 5° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at 5° C. for 1 hour and then stirred at room temperature (25° C.) for 2 hours. The precipitated triethylamine hydrochloride was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give ethyl 3-dimethylamino-2-(2,4,5-trifluoro-3-methyl-6-nitrobenzoyl)acrylate with a 43.6% purity as the residue.
