Participants

Reaction Steps

To a dried flask under nitrogen was added 2-(2-pyridinyl)-propanenitrile (Preparation 43, 6.26 g, 47.4 mmol), t-butanol (30 ml), Triton B (6.66 g, 39.8 mmol) and methyl acrylate (6.12 g, 71.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 2.5 h. The solid was removed, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow oil. Water (30 ml) was added and the product was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give a light yellow oil (4.32 g, 42%).
