Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ester 8 (3 g, 12.28 mmol), 4-methyl piperidine (1.46 ml, 12.28 mmol) and DIEA (2.7 ml, 15.96 mmol) in 30 ml of propionitrile is treated with solid cyanomethyl-trimethyl-phosphonium iodide (3.58 g, 14.74 mmol) and heated at reflux for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, a 2M-K2CO3 solution is added until basic and the mixture is extracted twice with DCM. The organic layers are washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated. The crude material is purified by chromatography using EtOAc/MeOH (saturated with ammonia): 9/1.
