Cesium carbonate → Methyl 5-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-1-methylcyclohex-3-enecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 1-methyl-7-oxo-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-ene-6-carboxylate, 52e, (4.93 g, 20.78 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) was added cesium carbonate (13.54 g, 41.56 mmol). The reaction was stirred overnight and then concentrated in vacuo. The cesium salts were precipitated with Et2O and filtered. The ether filtrate was evaporated to give 5.5 g of a yellow oil that was used without further purification.
