Procedure
According to AVV A, (Z-3-(4-nitrophenylamino)-but-2-enoic acid methylester (236.2 mg, 1.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was stirred with Cu(OAc)2 (544.9 mg, 3.0 mmol, 3.0 equiv.) into propionitrile (3.0 ml, 41.9 mmol, 41.9 equiv.) for 21 hours at 120° C. The green solid obtained as raw product 100:0→90:10→0:100), whereby the pure product was obtained in the form of a slightly yellowish solid (188.3 mg, 0.65 mmol, 65%).
