Diethyl (ethoxymethylene)malonate → Diethyl [2,3,4-trifluoro[(1S)-2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl]anilino]methylenemalonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound (300 mg) obtained in Example 51, diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (632 mg) and tetrahexylammonium chloride (57 mg) were dissolved in acetone (3 ml). After adding potassium carbonate (445 mg), the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4.5 hours. After the completion of the reaction, the solvent was evaporated. Then the residue thus obtained was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to thereby give 338 mg (84%) of the title compound as a colorless solid.
