Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-chlorobenzoylacetonitrile (476 mg, 2.66 mmol, 1.0 eq) and diphenylformamidine (522 mg, 2.66 mmol, 1.0 eq) in 25 mL of toluene was stirred at room temperature for 2 h then heated to 100° C. overnight. The solution was cooled and diluted with hexanes. The resulting solid was filtered and dried to provide the desired product (566 mg, 75%). HPLC (4 minute 10-95 gradient) tR 2.97 min; MS m/z 283.2 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (CDCl3), δ 8.06 (d, J=13.2 Hz, 1 H), 7.85 (m, 2 H), 7.46 (m, 4 H), 7.27 (m, 4 H) ppm.
