Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(3-nitropyridin-4-yl)cyclohex-2-enol (1.0 equiv.) was added dioxane (0.18M) and p-TSA (1.1 equiv.). The solution was heated to 100° C. for 4 h. Cooled to room temperature, worked up with sat. NaHCO3 and ethyl acetate, the organic phase was dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude was purified via silica gel column chromatography eluting with 100% DCM to give 4-(cyclohexa-1,3-dienyl)-3-nitropyridine as a yellow oil (27% yield). LCMS (m/z): 203.1 (MH+), LC Rt=3.53 min, H-NMR (CDCl3): 9.02 (s, 1H), 8.70 (d, J=5.3, 1H), 7.30 (d, J=5.3, 1H), 6.15-6.17 (m, 1H), 6.02-6.11 (m, 2H), 2.35-2.38 (m, 4H).
