Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 25 mL round-bottom flask was charged with ethyl nipecotate (8.0 mL, 51.5 mmol, Aldrich) and ethyl acrylate (6.0 mL, 55.4 mmol, Aldrich). The flask was purged with nitrogen and the mixture was heated to 80° C. for 20 hours. The excess ethyl acrylate was removed under reduced pressure. The remaining residue was purified by distillation (0.9 Ton, 122° C.) to provide the title compound: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.23-1.27 (m, 6H), 1.41-1.59 (m, 2H), 1.69-1.74 (m, 1H), 1.90-1.94 (m, 1H), 2.05 (td, J=10.9, 2.9 Hz, 1H), 2.05 (t, J=10.7 Hz, 1H), 2.46-2.56 (m, 3H), 2.69-2.76 (m, 3H), 2.95-2.98 (m, 1H), 4.10-4.16 (m, 4H); 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 14.14, 14.15, 24.51, 26.78, 32.61, 41.80, 53.37, 53.79, 55.12, 60.28, 60.23, 172.50, 174.03; MS (DCI/NH3) m/z 258 (M+H)+.
