Participants

Reaction Steps

According to AVV A, 3-phenylamino acrylic acid methylester (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 propionitrile (3.0 ml, 41.9 mmol, 41.9 equiv.) for 19 hours at 120° C. The orange-brown oily raw product (191.2 mg) was purified by means of column chromatography (silica gel (50 g), pentane/EtOAc 98:2→0:100), whereby the pure product was obtained in the form of a white solid (37.2 mg, 0.16 mmol, 16%).
