Sodium (2.8 g, 0.122 mol) was added in portions then the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 1 hour. A solution of methyl 1-t-butyloxycarbonyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carboxylate (3.0 g, 0.012 mol) in ethanol (40 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred whilst heating under reflux for 4 hours. The mixture was cooled, filtered, evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (40 mL), treated with potassium t-butoxide (1.35 g, 0.012 mol) and stirred for 3 hours. Water (50 mL) was added and the mixture extracted with dichloromethane (5×50 mL). The combined organics were dried (sodium sulphate) then evaporated to dryness to give a yellow gum which was purified by column chromatography on silica using dichloromethane/methanol (80:1) afford the product as a pale yellow gum (1.10 g, 33%). (HRMS, Found: M+, 280.1530, C13H20N4O3 requires M, 280.1535). (Found: C, 54.70; H, 7.29; N, 18.91. C13H20N4O3 requires C, 55.70; H, 7.19, N, 19.99%).
