Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

17.9 g (82 mmol) of compound 40A is suspended in 56 mL of toluene and few drops of DMF are added. The suspension is heated up to 75° C. and 10.7 g (90 mmol) of thionylchloride are added. After 2 hours, the excess of thionylchloride is removed under pressure. The solution is cooled down to room temperature. 10.2 g (83 mmol) of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 0.5 g (4 mmol) of 4-diaminopyridine and 28 g (355 mmol) of pyridine are added. After 3 hours, 14.5 g (140 mmol) of malonic acid and 3 g (42 mmol) of pyrrolidine are added. The reaction mixture is allowed to react at 80° C. for 30 min. Then, 16.8 mL of MeOH are incorporated and the suspension is cooled down and kept at 0° C. for 1 hour. The product is filtered off and suspended for 2 hours in a solution of 57 mL of MeOH, 11 mL of H2O and 7.5 g of a 25% HCl solution. The solid is filtered off and washed with MeOH and heptane. The product is crystallized in acetonitrile to give 23 g of (2E)-3-(4-{[4-(4-cyanobutoxy)benzoyl]oxy}phenyl)prop-2-enoic acid as a white powder.
