Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To the crude 2-(3,5-Difluoro-2-nitro-phenyl)-malonic acid di-tert-butyl ester (62 g, 0.42 mol) was added 700 mL of 2M ammonia in methanol in a pressure bottle. The vessel was sealed and heated to 85° C. for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and the vessel opened carefully and the methanol solution concentrated to provide 140 g of crude material. LCMS [M+Na]-393; 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO) δ 6.76 (dd, J=10.8 2.8 Hz, 1H), 6.29 (dd, J=10.8, 2.8 Hz, 1H), 4.99 (brs, 2H), 4.80 (s, 1H), 1.40 (m, 18H).
