Procedure

A suspension of the malononitrile of Example 2 (13 g, 31 mmole) in ether/dichloromethane (900 mL/100 mL), cooled in an ice bath, was treated with a freshly prepared ethereal solution of diazomethane (from 50 mmole of Diazald® (Aldrich Chemical Company)). The solution was stirred for 6 hr and then neutralized with acetic acid (10 mL). The solution was evaporated to dryness and the residue chromatographed on silica gel using dichloromethane/acetone (4/1) as the eluent. Fractions containing product were pooled and evaporated to a syrup. The syrup was triturated with dichloromethane to induce crystallization. The crystals were filtered and dried to give 8.3 g (61%) of chromatographically pure product, useful as an intermediate compound.
