A solution of diethyl 2-nitro-5-phthalimidomethylphenylmalonate in a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid (150 mL) and 1,4-dioxane (150 mL) was heated at 120° C. for 24 h. The solvents was removed in vacuo and the residual solid was dissolved in methanol (100 mL). To the solution was added thionyl chloride (11.8 g) dropwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 2 h at 40° C. and the solvent and the excess reagent was removed in vacuo. The residue was washed with diethyl ether and dried to give 6.5 g of the title compound (quant).
