Procedure: To a solution of KOAc (589.4 g, 6.006 mol) in isopropanol (3 L) was added allyl cyanoacetate (429.4 g, 403.2 mL, 3.432 mol) and the reaction mixture was cooled to 5° C. Trichloroacetonitrile (495.5 g, 3.432 mol) was added in 50 mL portions, maintaining temperature below 15° C. The reaction mixture was then allowed to warm to 20° C. and stirred for 3 h. Water (˜4 L) was added to dissolve the inorganic materials and precipitate out the desired product. The mixture was stirred for 20 minutes and the solid was isolated by filtration under vacuum. This solid was filtered, washed with water (2×0.5 L) and dried in a vacuum oven overnight at 40° C. to afford allyl 3-amino-4,4,4-trichloro-2-cyanobut-2-enoate 2 as an off-white powder (787 g, 85%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.17 (br s, 1H), 6.97 (m, 1H), 5.99 (m, 1H), 5.44 (m, 1H), 5.31 (m, 1H), 4.76 (m, 2H). maintaining temperature below 15° C to warm to 20° C.

Procedure: A solution of 37.6 ml of cyanoacetic acid allyl ester in 60 ml of dimethylformamide is added to a suspension of 12.8 g of sodium hydride (60%) in 200 ml of dimethylformamide at 0° C. It is stirred for 10 more minutes at 0° C., and then a solution of 28.0 ml of ethyl isothiocyanate in 60 ml of dimethylformamide is added. It is then stirred for 2 more hours at 25° C. Then, a solution of 32 ml of bromoacetyl chloride in 60 ml of dimethylformamide is added at 0° C., and it is stirred for 15 more hours at 25° C. Then, the reaction mixture is poured into saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. It is extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic phase is washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried on sodium sulfate and concentrated by evaporation in a vacuum. The crude product is purified by column chromatography on silica gel with a mixture that consists of hexane/ethyl acetate. 33.9 g of product is obtained.
