Diethyl (ethoxymethylene)malonate → HCID 178469532, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-t-butylaniline (67.6 g.) and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate was heated on the steam bath for 3 hours, the ethanol formed being collected by distillation. The resulting yellow oil was dissolved in diphenyl ether (200 ml.) and added during 0.5 hour to stirred diphenyl ether (800 ml.) at 250°-260°, the ethanol formed being collected by distillation. The mixture was stirred at 250°-260° for 0.5 hour, then allowed to cool to room temperature and diluted with an equal volume of petroleum ether (b.p. 60°-80°). THe precipitate was collected by filtration to give the novel compound ethyl 7-t-butyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylate, m.p. 279°-281°.
