Procedure

To 790 mg of sodium amide were added 20 mL of N,N-dimethylaniline and 2.74 g of 4-tert-butyl pyridine at it. The mixture was stirred at 150° C. for 6 h. During this period, 3 more portions of sodium amide (790 mg each) were added. The reaction was cooled down to rt. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. Aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic phase was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography with 50% ethyl acetate in hexanes followed by 100% ethyl acetate to give the title compound as a solid:
