Preparation of Dimethyl 4-Amino-3,5-dicyano-6-phenylphthalate (3a) - General Procedure
To a solution of benzylidenemalononitrile (0.308 g, 2 mmol) and 1-methylimidazole
(0.033 g, 0.4 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (4 mL) was added dropwise a solution of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (0.284 g,
2 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (2 mL) at -10 °C over 5 min, and was stirred at 25 °C for 25 min. Then, a solution
of malononitrile (0.132 g, 2 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (1 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and was stirred at 25 °C for 2 h (progress
of the reaction followed by TLC monitoring). Afterwards, the solvent was removed and
the residue was purified with column chromatography [n-hexane-EtOAc (4:1) as eluent]. The product 3a was obtained as colorless crystals; yield 0.64 g (95%). IR (KBr): 3435, 3340 and
