Reaction Steps

According to AVV A, (Z-4-phenylaminopent-3-ene-2-one (175.2 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 24 hours at 120° C. After the brown oily raw product (157.3 mg) was purified by means of column chromatography (silica gel (50 g), pentane/EtOAc 94:6→0:100), the desired product was obtained in the form of a yellow oil (57.2 mg, 0.25 mmol, 25%).
