Diethyl (ethoxymethylene)malonate → HCID 10015075, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-aminopyrrole (575 mg, 7.0 mmol, commercially available) and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (1.82 g, 8.4 mmol) was heated at 125° C. for 2 hours to give crude diethyl 2-((1H-pyrrol-1-ylamino)methylene)malonate. To this intermediate was added diphenyl ether (2 mL). The reaction was put under nitrogen and heated at 220° C. for 2 hours, while allowing the ethanol formed in the reaction to be distilled off. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and purified by silica gel flash chromatography (eluted with 100% CH2Cl2) to give the title compound (1.03 g, 71%) as a yellow solid.
