Methyl propiolate → HCID 178500917, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

27 g (117.7 mmol) of trans-(4-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester were dissolved in 500 mL of THF and were treated with 6.8 mL of tri-n-butylphosphine and 10.5 mL (117.7 mmol) of methyl propiolate at 0° C. for 2d. Additional 2.1 mL (23 mmol, 0.2 eq) of methyl propiolate and 3.4 mL (11.8 mmol, 0.1 eq) of tri-n-butylphosphine were added. After stirring for 1 h at RT, the solution was evaporated and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography with n-heptane:EtOAc 3:1. Trituration with n-heptane yielded 26.7 g (73%) of trans-3-[4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl-methyl-amino)-cyclohexyloxy]-acrylic acid methyl ester as white solid, MS: 314 (MH+).
