Reaction Steps

2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride (9.4 g) was added dropwise to a cooled mixture of 1-cyclopropyl-1-diethylaminoethene (5.1 g) and triethylamine (3.7 g) in toluene (100 ml) whilst maintaining the temperature below 10° C. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The suspension was treated with decolourising charcoal and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel eluted with a mixture of ethyl acetate and dichloromethane (1:9) to give 3-cyclopropyl-3-diethylamino-1-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (4.1 g) as a red oil with its 1H NMR (in CDCl3) giving peaks at d=0.7-1.8(m, 11H), 3.5(q, 4H), 5.0(s, 1H), 7.5(d, 1H), 7.7(d, 1H),and 7.95(s, 1H).
