Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-methoxyethanimidamide hydrochloride (2.1 g) and methanol (15 mL) were added sodium methoxide (28% methanol solution, 4.8 g), and then a solution of ethyl 2-[(2′-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-3-oxoheptanoate (3.0 g) in methanol (25 mL) and 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the residue was adjusted to pH 5 with water (50 mL) and 50% aqueous acetic acid solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The obtained ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as colorless crystals (2.4 g, 75%).
