Reaction Steps

2,2-Dimethyl-3-oxo-pentanedinitrile (WO 2008/034008, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, 353 mg, 2.80 mmol) and Intermediate 20a (387 mg, 2.80 mmol) were suspended in EtOH (10 mL) and concentrated HCl was added (711 μL, 8.53 mmol) and the reaction was refluxed for 90 min. The reaction was cooled, concentrated in vacuo and partitioned between H2O and EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo and the resulting oil was triturated with pentane/Et2O (9:1) to afford the title compound as a brown solid (363 mg, 53%). LCMS (Method 3): Rt 2.77 min, m/z 243.3 [MH+].
