Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-cyano-3-hydroxybut-2-enoate (III) (50 g) and 4-(trifluoromethyl) aniline (51.9 g) in xylene (1000 ml) was refluxed for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool at room temperature. Separated solid was filtered and washed with xylene (2×100 ml). Solid was dried under vacuum at 70° C. to yield (62 g) of Teriflunomide.
