Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-{2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-6-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]phenyl}ethanone (starting compound 1-A′ 2.00 g, 6.13 mmol), 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde (2.05 g, 12.26 mmol), tert-butyl cyanoacetate (1.73 g, 12.26 mmol), ammonium acetate (1.42 g, 18.38 mmol) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (2.0 mL) was placed in a sealed tube and was stirred at 100° C. for 8 hrs. After being cooled to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The separated organic phase was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (hexane:ethyl acetate, 1:1) to give tert-butyl 2-amino-6-{2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-6-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]phenyl}-4-(3-hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl)nicotinate. (2.32 g, 62%); LC-MS (m/z=614, M+1)
