Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-(3-fluoro-pyridin-2-yl)-3-oxo-propionic acid ethyl ester (3) (15 mg, 0.07 mmol) in 3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran (2 mL) was added slowly dimethylformamide diethylacetale (0.085 mL, 0.5 mmol) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 6 h. After completion of the reaction, solvent was evaporated under vacuum to get the crude 3-dimethylamino-2-(3-fluoro-pyridine-2-carbonyl)-acrylic acid ethyl ester (4) (18 mg, crude) as a brown sticky liquid LC-MS: 267.4 (M+H). The crude compound was used in the next step without purification.
