Pyridine → HCID 33240192, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-fluorophenylacetic acid (4.5 g, 29.3 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (4.35 g, 32.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (140 ml) was added dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (6.65 g, 32.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The resulting solution was cooled to 0° C., and then a solution of diethyl aminomalonate hydrochloride (6.2 g, 29.3 mmol) in pyridine (4.5 ml, 29.3 mmol) and DMF (10 ml) was added. The temperature was allowed to rise to ambient temperature. After 1 hour, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and a 5% NaHCO3 solution. The organic layer was washed with water, brine and dried over Na2SO4. After removing the solvents, the crude residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica (CH2Cl2/MeOH 50:1) to yield the title compound as a white solid (8.5 g, 93%).
