Procedure

To a suspension of the sodium salt of methylhydroxymethylene-cyanoacetate (19.0 g, 127 mmol) in 200 mL of dichloromethane was added phosphorous pentachloride (26.5 g, 127 mmol) in one portion. The reaction mixture was allowed to exotherm to reflux temperature and then maintained at reflux with stirring for 4 hours. The resulting light yellow suspension was allowed to cool to 23° C. and then poured into 400 mL of cold water. The mixture stirred for 15 minutes and the phases were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with 100 mL of dichloromethane and the combined organic layers were washed twice with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to 16.8 g of the title compound which was of sufficient purity for use in Example 1. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.88 (s, 3H), 7.58 (s, 0.35H), 8.04 (s, 0.65H).
