Lithium Chloride → HCID 57457660, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of dimethyl 2-(4-fluoro-2,6-dinitrophenyl)malonate from Step A (20.5 g, 64.9 mmol) and lithium chloride (5.50 g, 130 mmol) in DMSO (120 mL) and water (2.34 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 3 h, then cooled and poured onto H2O (400 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with Et2O (3×250 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of hexanes:EtOAc—100:0 to 80:20, to give the title compound. MS: m/z=259 (M+1).
