Participants

Reaction Steps

According to AVV A, 3-phenylamino acrylic acid methylester (197) (177.2 mg, 1.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was stirred with Cu(OAc)2 (544.9 mg, 3.0 mmol, 3.0 equiv.) into acetonitrile (3.0 ml, 57.1 mmol, 57.1 equiv.) for 22 hours at 110° C. The greenish solid obtained as raw product (242.4 mg) was purified by means of column chromatography (silica gel (50 g), pentane/MTBE 95:5→0:100, then MTBE/EtOAc 100:0→0:100), whereby the desired product was obtained in the form of a yellowish solid (35.1 mg, 0.16 mmol, 16%).
