Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-(chloromethyl)-2-ethyl-2-(3-nitrophenyl)cyclopropane carboxylate (Preparation 16, 3.5 g, 11.2 mmol), in N,N-dimethylformamide (33 ml) was added sodium hydrogen carbonate (3.3 g, 39 mmol) and 3-phenylpropylamine (10.6 g, 11.2 ml, 79.2 mmol). The mixture was heated to 150° C. for 12 h, then cooled to room temperature and partitioned between water (500 ml) and diethyl ether (500 ml). The organic layer was washed successively with water (4×250 ml). The aqueous layers were combined and extracted with diethyl ether (250 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica (200 g) column chromatography eluting with dichloromethane. Product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a very pale yellow oil (1.8 g, 43%).
