Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-chloro-4-cyano-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl methanesulfonate (207 mg, 0.714 mmol) in DCM (4 mL) was treated with DBU (0.538 mL, 3.57 mmol) and stirred overnight at 40° C. TLC (50% ethyl acetate/hexanes) showed complete conversion to a faster intense UV band for product. The reaction was then diluted with DCM and aq. citric acid and the mixture was extracted twice with DCM. The organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography (5-20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded the title intermediate.
