Diethyl (ethoxymethylene)malonate → HCID 67954621, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-(phenylmethyl)-benzenecarboximidamide (i.e. the product from Step A) (2.54 g, 12.1 mmol) in ethanol (15 mL) was added diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (2.61 g, 12.1 mmol), and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 24 h. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford the title product as a white solid (2.9 g).
