Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 14372069, compound

To a solution of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (5.1 ml, 30.4 mmole) in dry tetrahydrofuran (60 ml), cooled at -78° C. (dryice/acetone) under an argon atmosphere, was added dropwise n-butyllithium (17.3 ml, 27.6 mmole). After the addition the reaction was warmed to -10° C. (ice/acetone). To this solution was added N,N-diethyl-2-methylfuran-3-carboxamide (5.0 g, 27.6 mmole) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml). After stirring this mixture for 1.0 hour, 3-(dimethylamino)propionitrile (3.27 ml, 29.0 mmole) was added dropwise. The reaction was allowed to warm overnight. The reaction was poured into ice/water and acidified to a pH 3.25 with hydrochloric acid. The mixture was then extracted with diethyl ether (3×150 ml). The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 13.0 using sodium hydroxide solution (40%) and this solution was extracted exhaustively using methylene chloride (10×150 ml). The combined extracts were washed with water (2×50 ml), brine (2×100 ml) and dried (MgSO4). After solvent evaporation 8.25 g of an oil was obtained. This was purified by flash chromatography using 15% methanol/chloroform as the eluting solvent to give analytically pure product (4.65 g, 82% yield), mp: 97.5°-98.0° C. Some starting amide (1.05 g) was recovered from the initial diethyl ether extracts.
