N-Methyldiethanolamine → (E)-N-methacryloylbut-2-enamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Experimental Procedure: Triphenylphosphine (77.0 mg, 0.29 mmol) and DIAD (60.0 mg, 0.29 mmol) were dissolved to a 1:1 mixture of THF and toluene (2 mL); then mono-demethylated piperlongumine (40.0 mg, 0.13 mmol) was added. After 10 min, N-methyldiethanolamine (120 mg, 0.06 mmol) was added to the mixture; the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. At the end, the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by preparative TLC(CH2Cl2/MeOH=9/1) to afford the desired product in 78% yield.
