Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-methoxybenzoylacetonitrile (1.20 g, 68.5 mmol, 1.0 eq) and diphenylformamidine (1.34 g, 68.5 mmol, 1.0 eq) in 25 mL of toluene was stirred at room temperature for 2h then heated to 100° C. overnight. The solution was cooled and diluted with hexanes. The resulting solid was filtered and dried to provide the desired product. HPLC (4 minute 10-90 gradient) tR 3.05 min; MS m/z 279.2 [M+H]+.
