Reaction Steps

Under an atmosphere of argon, 3-(methoxymethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine (244 mg, 1.9 mmol) and 4-(2-cyano-3-oxobut-1-en-1-yl)benzonitrile (300 mg, 1.5 mmol, 0.8 eq.) were dissolved in DMF (3 ml), and solid sodium bicarbonate (803 mg, 9.6 mmol, 5 eq.) was added. The mixture was stirred at 55° C. for 12 h. The mixture was then filtered, and the DMF from the filtrate was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was acidified with 1 N hydrochloric acid and then purified by preparative HPLC (Kromasil C18 column, 30×250 mm; mobile phase: acetonitrile-water-0.1% TFA). The product was obtained as a solid (38.2 mg, 80% pure, 7% of theory).
