19056-40-7, In the chemical reaction process, reaction time, type of solvent, can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product. An updated downstream synthesis route of 19056-40-7 as follows.

To a solution of ethyl (2Z)-3-(methylamino)-3-phenylacrylate (4.47 g, 21.77 mmol) in DCM (100 mL) was added 4-bromo-3-methoxyaniline (4 g, 19.80 mmol) and PPTS (5.47 g, 21.77 mmol). The mixture was then heated to reflux for 24h. At this time crude IH NMR revealed nearly complete consumption of the aniline. The reaction was then cooled to r.t.,fltered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified on silica (75percent DCM/hexanes) to yield ethyl (2Z)-3- [(4-bromo-3-methoxyphenyl)amino]-3-phenylacrylate (6.5 g, 87percent) which was used as is in subsequent reactions. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) ppm: 10.32 (br s, IH), 7.32 (m, 5H), 7.20 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, IH), 6.19 (dd, J = 8.5 Hz, 2.5 Hz, IH), 6.11 (d, J = 2.5 z, IH), 5.03 (s, IH), 4.21 (q, J = 7.0 Hz, 2H), 3.50 (s, 3H), 1.32 (t, J = 7.0 Hz, 3H).

According to the analysis of related databases, 4-Bromo-3-methoxyaniline, the application of this compound in the production field has become more and more popular.
