Reaktionsschritte

Methyl 3-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate (29.33 g, 153 mmol) and 1-cyano-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydronaphthalene (25.7, 139 mmol), the product of Step 2 of Example 1, were dissolved in 25 mL of acetonitrile. DBU (1.5 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at ambient temperature. A second aliquot of DBU (1.5 mL) was then added and stirring continued overnight. The reaction mixture was partitioned between diethyl ether and 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (4:1) and the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic layers were washed with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluted with hexane/ethyl acetate (6:1) to give 33.9 g (65% yield) of the title compound; MS DCl--NH3M/Z: 395 (M+NH4)+.
