Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of diisopropylamine (1.5 g, 15 mmol) in dry THF (10 mL) was added n-BuLi (6 mL of 2.5 M in hexane, 15 mmol) at −78° C. After 30 min, a solution of 5-dimethylamino-2,N,N-trimethylbenzamide (2.06 g, 10 mmol) in THF (15 mL) was added dropwise at −78° C., the red orange solution was stirred at the same temperature for 1 h. The solution of 3-methoxybenzonitrile (1.7 g, 13 mmol) in dry TIM (10 mL) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 h. The reaction solution was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate and dried over sodium sulfate. After removing the solvent, the residue was purified by column chromatography with n-hexane-ethyl acetate (3:1) to afford compound I as yellow solid (596 mg, 20%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 9.73 (s, 1H), 7.61 (s, 1H), 7.50 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (m, 1H), 7.23-7.22 (m, 3H), 6.96 (m, 1H), 6.74 (s, 1H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 3.09 (s, 6H).
