Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 30.0 g (62.25 mmol) tert. butyl 4-(4-amino-3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-3,3-bis-ethoxycarbonyl-butyrate (Intermediate product 65) in 200 mL CH2Cl2 was added 20 mL TFA while cooling with ice and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours at RT. The reaction mixture was evaporated i. vac. and the residue recrystallised from petroleum ether. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with petroleum ether and dried.
