Diethyl Malonate → HCID 71283960, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diethyl malonate (44.8 g, 280 mmol) was added to a suspension of sodium hydride (60%, oil, 28.0 g, 700 mmol) in THF (280 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. Then, 1,2,3-trifluoro-5-nitrobenzene (24.79 g, 140 mmol) was added thereto at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. To the reaction mixture was added aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (×2). The organic layer was washed with brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give diethyl 2,6-difluoro-4-nitrophenylmalonate (42 g) as a colorless oil.
