tert-Butyl cyanoacetate → Tert-butyl 2-amino-6-[2-(benzyloxy)phenyl]4-{1-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-phenylethyl}-1,4-dihydro-3-pyridinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the starting compound 1A (3.000 g, 13.258 mmol), N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-phenylalaninal (3.305 g, 13.258 mmol), tert-butyl cyanoacetate (1.872 g, 13.258 mmol), ammonium acetate (3.066 g, 39.774 mmol) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (5.0 mL) was heated at reflux for 6 hrs. After cooled to room temperature, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and saturated NaHCO3 solution. The separated organic phase was washed with water and brine successively, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with diisopropyl ether to give tert-butyl 2-amino-6-[2-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-4-{1-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-phenylethyl}-1,4-dihydro-3-pyridinecarboxylate as a yellow solid (1.281 g, yield; 16%).
