Participants

Reaction Steps

A 1 M solution of 0.558 ml (0.558 mmol) of (cyanomethylene)tributylphosphorane in toluene was added to a solution of 95 mg (0.298 mmol) of the title compound produced in step (ii) of Reference Example 9 in toluene (3 ml), and the mixture was stirred with heating under reflux for 1 hr 20 min. Thereafter, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and the solvent was removed under the reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:4) to give 89 mg (yield 99%) of the title compound.
