tert-Butyl 2-[4-(5-chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl]-3-(1-methylcyclopropyl)prop-2-enoate → tert-Butyl 2-[4-(5-chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl]-3-(1-methylcyclopropyl)propanoate

Reaction Steps

At RT, 257 mg (583 μmol) of tert-butyl 2-[4-(5-chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl]-3-(1-methylcyclopropyl)prop-2-enoate (isomer mixture) were admixed with 30 ml of a “Hot Stryker's” reagent solution [B. A. Baker et al. Org. Lett. 2008, 10, 289-292]. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h, and 20 ml of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution were then added. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted three times with 25 ml of ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulphate and filtered, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (40 g silica cartridge, 35 ml/min, cyclohexane/ethyl acetate gradient). Yield: 247 mg (96% of theory)
