Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

11.2 g (0.05 mol) of ethyl 2-(tert.butylaminosulfonyl)acetate (see J. Org. Chem. 43, p. 4535 (1978)) are dissolved in 50 ml of benzaldehyde, 2 g of ammonium acetate and 2 ml of glacial acetic acid are added, and the mixture is stirred for 2 hours at 60° C. under a water pump vacuum (20 mm). The excess aldehyde is subsequently distilled off, and the residue is digested using n-hexane and recrystallized from isopropanol. 11.2 g (72% of theory) of ethyl 3-phenyl-2-(tert.butylaminosulfonyl)prop-2-enoate of melting point 111°-113° C. are obtained.
