Methyl Acrylate → Methyl 2-acetamido-5-chlorocinnamate

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 100 ml of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether were added 10 g of 2-acetylamino-5-chloroiodobenzene, 3.96 g of anhydrous potassium acetate, 2.84 g of methyl acrylate, 5.8 mg of palladium acetate and 17.4 mg of triphenylphosphine. The resulting mixture was allowed to react at 130° C. for 8 hours under the stream of a nitrogen gas. The reaction solution was cooled to 50° C. and poured into 300 ml of water, and then a large amount of white crystal precipitated. This crystal was filtered off, washed with water and vacuum-dried to obtain 6.2 g of methyl 2-acetylamino-5-chlorocinnamate. The yield was 72.5%.
