p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 20367255, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

54.7 g of β-amino-β-ethoxyacrylic acid ethyl ester and 2 g of p-toluenesulphonic acid were dissolved in 400 ml of ethanol. A solution of 77.6 g of 2,4,5-trichlorobenzylhydrazine in 200 ml of ethanol was added dropwise thereto, under nitrogen. After stirring for a further two hours, the mixture was left to stand overnight and the precipitate which had separated out was filtered off and dissolved in 2 N sodium hydroxide soltuion. The alkaline solution was repeatedly extracted with ether and subsequently slightly acidified with dilute acetic acid, whereupon the compound identified above precipitated. After recrystallisation from ethanol, this product melted at 195°-196°. 38 g (38%).
