Ethyl 2-acetyl-3-(dimethylamino)acrylate → HCID 68555848, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Na0 (31.7 mmol) is added to anhydrous EtOH (100 mL) and stirred at rt for 15 min. Pyridine-2-carboxamidine hydrochloride (31.7 mmol) is added and the solution is stirred for 15 min. 2-Dimethylaminomethylene-3-oxo-butyric acid ethyl ester (31.7 mmol) is added and the reaction mixture is heated at reflux under N2 for 1 h. The reaction is cooled to rt and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in EtOAc (200 mL), washed with brine (2×100 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to afford 4-methyl-2-pyridin-2-yl-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (6.77 g, 88%). MS: 261 (M+H); 1H 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.44 (t, 3H), 2.97 (s, 3H), 4.44 (q, 2H), 7.44 (m, 1H), 7.91 (m, 1H), 8.60 (m, 1H), 8.90 (m, 1H), 9.31 (s, 1H).
