Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of dimethyl (2E,4Z)-4-[(tert-butylamino)methylene]-2-pentenedioate (1.2 g) in MeOH (10 mL) was added 28% sodium methoxide in MeOH (1.9 mL), and the mixture was heated to reflux for 8 hr under a nitrogen atmosphere. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was diluted with EtOAc (20 mL). The resulting mixture was washed successively with 1 M HCl (20 mL), saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (20 mL) and brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo to give ethyl 1-(tert-butyl)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-3-pyridinecarboxylate (657 mg).
