Procedure: 35.7 g methyl nitroacetate was added slowly to a refluxing mixture of 39.0 g of 1A and 300 ml of isopropyl alcohol. The mixture then was refluxed for 1 hour with provision to remove the methyl mercaptan by-product. The mixture was cooled and filtered to give the methyl ester of (1-methyl-2-imidazolidinylidene)nitroacetic acid (1B) as a solid, m.p.: 214°-217° (with decomposition). The mixture then was refluxed for 1 hour with provision to remove the methyl mercaptan by-product The mixture was cooled filtered

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 19.5 g of 1A, 17.8 g of methyl nitroacetate and a small amount of zinc chloride were mixed and the mixture was heated to 100°-105°. After 30 minutes, the solid reaction mixture was washed with ether, then with hot methanol. The mixture was filtered to give the methyl ester of (1-methyl-2-imidazolidinylidene)nitroacetic acid (1B) as a tan solid, m.p.: 209°-210°. the mixture was heated to 100°-105° the solid reaction mixture was washed with ether The mixture was filtered

Procedure: To a solution of 8-formylnaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2.5 g, 11.68 mmol) in EtOH (20 mL) is added 8 drops of piperidine followed by nitroacetic acid methyl ester (2.78 g, 23.4 mmol) and the mixture is stirred at RT for 20 h. Ethyl acetate is added followed by 1N HCl. The resulting precipitate is filtered to give the title compound. The resulting precipitate is filtered

Procedure: A mixture of 17.3 g (0.053 mol) of the compound of Example 40 and 6.3 g (0.53 mol) of methyl nitroacetate in 115 ml of acetic anhydride was heated at 95° for 1 hour. The mixture was concentrated, the residue slurried with ether, filtered and washed with ether to give 17.6 g (78%) of red orange crystals, m.p. 158°-165°. Recrystallization from benzene-dimethylformamide afforded 13.4 g (59%) of product, m.p. 179°-181°. was heated at 95° for 1 hour The mixture was concentrated filtered washed with ether

Procedure: A 12-l. three-necked flask, equippedewith a thermometer, mechanical stirrer and a reflux condenser was charged under an atmosphere of nitrogen with 746 g (6.26 moles) of nitroacetic acid methylester, 1392 g (9.4 moles) of triethyl orthoformate and 1.92 l of acetic anhydride. The mixture was stirred and heated at reflux for 23 hours. The volatile components were distilled off first at atmospheric pressure (pot temperature up to 100° C, then at aspirator; vacuum and finally at 0.17 mmHg, (pot temperature up to 70°), leaving 926 g (84%) of crude alpha-nitro-beta-ethoxyacrylic acid methylester as an orange oil. heated at reflux for 23 hours The volatile components were distilled off first at atmospheric pressure (pot temperature up to 100° C

Procedure: 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzaldehyde (20.75 g, 0.105 mol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (300 mL) and to this solution magnesium sulphate (15 g, 0.124 mol), ammonium acetate (10 g, 0.129 mol) and methyl nitroacetate (12.60 g, 0.105 mol) were added and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. At the end of two hours, water (300 mL) was added to the reaction mass, the organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer extracted with dichloromethane (2×100 mL). The organic layers were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a solid, which was crystallized from methanol (100 mL). were added the organic layer was separated the aqueous layer extracted with dichloromethane (2×100 mL) concentrated under reduced pressure to give a solid, which was crystallized from methanol (100 mL)
