Ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate → HCID 86717940, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under argon, 500 mg (1.97 mmol) of 3-[(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-4-fluoropyridine-2-amine Example 268A were initially charged in 10 ml of ethanol, 500 mg of powdered molecular sieve 4A and 3.24 g (19.67 mmol) of ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate were added and the mixture was then heated at reflux for 48 h. All volatile components were evaporated at 85° C. under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (mobile phase: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate=9/1 isocratic). This gave 368 mg (39% of theory; purity about 76%) of the title compound.
