Ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate → HCID 14500742, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred slurry of 6.3 g (0.039 mole) of 4-morpholinecarbothioic acid hydrazide in 75 mL of absolute ethanol under nitrogen atmosphere was treated with 6.43 g (0.039 mole) of ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate and the exothermic reaction mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hr. The major portion of reaction mixture solids were dissolved by heating to reflux, the sulfur residue removed by filtration and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to a solid, which was crystallized from 2-propyl alcohol to yield 5.5 g of white crystalline needles, mp 165°-173° C., as the hydrochloride salt.
