Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-[(2'-t-butoxycarbonylbiphenyl-4-yl)methylaminomethylene]-3-oxo-4-nonenate (1.59 g, 3.23 mmol) in DMF (20 ml) and was heated under reflux for 4 hours. After cooling, the reaction solution was concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel. The column was eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (7:3 to 8:2) to give 1.21 g (76.2%) of the title compound as an oil.
