Diethyl methyl(4-nitrophenyl)propanedioate → HCID 12370795, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Stannous chloride dihydrate (30.60 g, 135.6 mmol) was added to a solution of diethyl 2-methyl-2-(4-nitrophenyl)malonate (8.00 g, 27.1 mmol) in EtOH (100 ml) and stirred at reflux for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken in water and basified with triethyl amine to adjust a pH˜8. The precipitated solid was filtered and washed with ethyl acetate. The separated organic layer from the filtrate was washed with water, brine solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 6.0 g (83%) of diethyl 2-(4-aminophenyl)-2-methylmalonate as brown oil.
