Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl (2E)-3-(6-{(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(3R)-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}-3-pyridyl)acrylate (310 mg) and cyclopropylmethyl bromide (116 mg) in acetonitrile (7 ml) was added potassium hydrogencarbonate (85.9 mg) and potassium iodide (28.5 mg) at 20° C. and then the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 3 hours. The mixed solution was poured into a mixture of water (20 ml) and AcOEt (20 ml). The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to ca. 9 with NaHCO3. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (8 g) using a mixed solvent of dichloromethane and MeOH (40:1 to 20:1). The fractions containing the objective compound were collected and evaporated under reduced pressure. Ethyl (2E)-3-(6-{(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(3R)-1-(cyclopropylmethyl)-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}-3-pyridyl)acrylate (170 mg) was obtained as colorless syrup.
