Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[(ethylamino)methyl]benzonitrile (5 g, 31 mmol) and tert-butyl acrylate (4.6 mL, 31 mmol) was heated neat at 80° C. for 12 hours. The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography (silica, pet ether/EtOAc) to afford the title compound as colorless oil. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) δ 7.69 (m, 2H), 7.62 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (m, 1H), 3.56 (s, 2H), 2.64 (t, 2H), 2.40 (m, 2H), 2.32 (t, 2H), 1.39 (s, 9H), 0.93 (t, 3H).
