Reaction Steps

Sodium hydroxide (151 g) was dissolved in methanol (600 ml), and an aqueous hydroxylamine hydrochloride (45 g) solution (50 ml) was added dropwise thereto under stirring at 0° C., and then a solution of α,β-dibromo-4-chlorocinnamic acid ethyl ester (200 g) in dioxane (200 ml) was added dropwise to the mixture. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours and further refluxed for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 5° C., and the pH of the mixture was adjusted to a value of 2 with conc. hydrochloric acid. Then, the reaction mixture was added to water (5 L). Precipitate was separated from the mixture by filtration and washed with water (2 L) and then with ethanol (1 L) to obtain 90 g of the title compound (85%) as a pale yellow powder.
