Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of diethyl N-(3,4-difluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)aminomethylenemalonate (80 mg) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (70 mg) in dry dimethylformamide (1.5 ml) was added benzyl bromide (30 μl). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and the precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated. The crystalline residue was washed with n-hexane and recrystallized from methanol to give diethyl N-(2-benzyloxy-3,4-difluorophenyl)aminomethylenemalonate (90 mg), mp 87° C.; MS m/z 405 (M+).
