Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g(18.9 mmol) of 3-(naphthalen-1-yl)-acrylic acid ethyl ester prepared in Preparation 2-1) and 3.68 g(18.9 mmol) of tosylmethylisocyanide were dissolved in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran. To this solution was slowly added 2.55 g(22.7 mmol) of potassium t-butoxide dissolved in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran, then the resulting solution was refluxed for 30 minutes. 100 ml of water was added to the reaction solution in order to stop the reaction, and the solvent was eliminated under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with diethylether, washed with aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography(eluent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/3, v/v) to obtain 3.85 g(14.5 mmol, Yield 77%) of the title compound.
