Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6.57 g (32 mmol) of 3-formyl-2-(pivaloylamino)pyridine was dissolved in ethanol (50 mL), and 10.2 g (64 mmol) of diethyl malonate and 1.6 mL (16 mmol) of pyrrolidine were added to the above solution. The resulting mixture was stirred overnight at 100° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and a solid precipitated therefrom was washed with ethanol. Thus, 2.2 g (yield: 32%) of the title compound was obtained as a yellow solid.
