tert-Butyl cyanoacetate → Tert-butyl 2-amino-6-[2-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-4-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-piperidinyl]nicotinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the starting compound 1A (3.500 g, 15.47 mmol), starting compound 2B (3.299 g, 15.47 mmol), tert-butyl cyanoacetate (2.184 g, 15.47 mmol), ammonium acetate (3.577 g, 46.40 mmol) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (17 mL) was heated at reflux for 3.5 hrs. After cooled to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The separated organic phase was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (hexane:ethyl acetate, 4:1) to give tert-butyl 2-amino-6-[2-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-4-[1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-piperidinyl]nicotinate. (1.892 g, yield; 22%)
