Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 66864246, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.0 ml of trifluoroacetic acid were heated at 55°-60° C. A solution of 5.3 g (8.0 mmol; 70% purity) of tert-butyl-3-cyclopropyl-2-(3-methylamino-2-methylsulfonyl-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-3-oxopropanoate in 10 ml of CH2Cl2 was added dropwise and the mixture was then heated at reflux for 15 min. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel. This gave 1.22 g of product in 95% purity.
