Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl (2E)-3-(6-{(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(3R)-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}-3-pyridinyl)acrylate dihydrochloride (268 mg) in DMF (3 mL) was added 1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene (91.4 mg) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.376 mL). After stirring for 3 hours at 120° C., the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and H2O. The organic layer was washed with H2O and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo to give ethyl (2E)-3-(6-{(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(3R)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}-3-pyridinyl)acrylate (299 mg).
