Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal → HCID 178444118, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 3-oxo-4-nonenate (1.00 g, 5.04 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (0.94 ml, 7.08 mmol) in benzene (10 ml) was stirred at 70° C. for 1.5 hours under nitrogen stream. After cooling, a solution of 4-aminomethyl-2'-t-butoxycarbonylbiphenyl (2.86 g, ca. 10.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) was added to the reaction solution and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then concentrated to dryness. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel. The column was eluted with dichloromethane-ethyl acetate (1% to 5%) to give 1.65 g (66.6%) of the title compound as an oil.
