2-Chloroethyl acetoacetate → HCID 14304814, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Cyano-2-pyridine aldehyde (1.613 g, 12.2 mmol), chloroethyl acetoacetate (2.009 g, 12.2 mmol) and methyl 3-aminocrotonate (1.364 g, 12.2 mmol) were dissolved in 16 ml of isopropanol, and the solution was stirred at 35° to 40° C. under a nitrogen gas stream for 14 hours. The reaction solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography [silica gel; ethyl acetate-n-hexane (5:6)]. The crude product thus obtained was recrystallized from isopropyl ether-methanol to obtain 1.546 g (34% yield) of the above-captioned compound.
