Ammonium Hydroxide → N-[4-(3-Fluoro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-malonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

99 mg (0.31 mmol) N-[4-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-malonamic acid methyl ester (example 1) is dissolved in a mixture of 0.5 ml tetrahydrofuran and 1.0 ml of aqueous ammonium hydroxide (25%). The reaction vessel is capped and kept at 60° C. for 2.5 h. The reaction mixture is cooled, evaporated to dryness and diluted with water. Filtration provides 48 mg (51%) of the title compound as a light yellow solid. MS: m/e=303.2 (M++H).
