Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-carboxy-4-cyano-4-(3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(methoxymethyloxy)cyclohex-1-ene (0.26 g, 0.67 mmol), N-methyl morpholine (0.09 ml, 0.8 mmol) and isobutyl chloroformate (0.1 mL, 0.77 mmol) in dry 1,2-dimethoxyethane (7 mL) was stirred under an argon atmosphere at room temperature for 10 min. Ammonium hydroxide (0.07 mL, 1.0 mmol) was added and stirring was continued for 0.5 h. The mixture was partitioned between methylene chloride and 5% aqueous sodium carbonate, was extracted three times, the organic layer was dried (potassium carbonate) and the solvent was removed in vacuo to provide a white solid (0.22 g, 85%): m.p. 120°-122° C.
