Procedure

Phenylmalonic acid (13.5 g, 0.07 mol) in dry ether (40 mL) was treated with thionyl chloride (8.92 g, 5.4 mL, 0.07 mol) and one drop of N,N-dimethylformamide. The mixture was heated at 40°-50° C. for 3 hours. The clear solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to remove any residual thionyl chloride. The oily residue was redissolved in dry ether (40 mL), and the solution was treated with isopropyl alcohol (0.075 mol, 5.76 mL), refluxed for 2 hours and worked up as before to give the titled compound.
