Diethyl bromomalonate → HCID 67860713, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.69 g (0.03 g atom) of sodium is dissolved in 100 ml of ethanol. 6.3 g (0.03 mol) of 5-nitro-7-methylbenzothiazolone and then 7.17 g (0.03 mol) of diethyl bromomalonate are added to the solution. The reaction mixture is heated under reflux for 8 hours, poured onto ice and the precipitated product is recrystallized from a little ethanol. 4 g (36% of theory) of 7-methyl-5-nitro-3-(bis-ethoxycarbonyl-methyl)-benzothiazolone are obtained in the form of colorless needles of melting point 97° C.
