Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzonitrile 33 (5.2 g, 32 mmol) in a solution of abs. ethanol (250 ml) and dioxane (40 ml) was cooled in an ice bath as dry HCl gas was bubbled through it for 1 hr. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature and the resulting precipitate was collected, washed with ether and dried to give 6.2 g (79%) of the imidate ester HCl 34. 1H NMR (600 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 11.8 (br s, 1H), 8.64 (s, 1H), 8.21 (d, 1H, J=9 Hz), 7.38 (d, 1H, J=9 Hz), 4.57 (q, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 1.47 (t, 3H, J=7.2 Hz).
