Procedure: Butyl cyanoacetate (6.35 g; 0.05 mol) and triethylamine (20.9 ml; 0.15 mol) were dissolved in dry THF (100 ml) under dry nitrogen, and 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoyl chloride (11.0 g; 0.05 mol) in dry THF (100 ml) added dropwise over 45 min. The mixture was stirred at room temperature under dry nitrogen for 18 hours, during which time a precipitate was formed. The solution was filtered and evaporated, giving a residue which was treated with 2M sodium hydroxide solution (200 ml) and CH2Cl2 (100 ml). This formed three layers. The middle layer was treated with 2M hydrochloric acid (50 ml) and extracted into CH2Cl2 (3×50 ml). The extracts were combined, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated, giving butyl 2-(4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoyl)-2-cyanoacetate (10.27 g; 63%) as a yellow solid, m.p. 56°-58° C., (Found, C: 52.01; H: 4.05; N: 8.70; Cl: 10.97.
