Sodium hydride → Ethyl 2-[4-(5-chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl]-3-cyclobutylpropanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

122 mg (purity 87%, 0.41 mmol) of 4-chloro-2-(5-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-4-yl)benzonitrile in the presence of 1.3 eq. of sodium hydride and 161 mg (0.53 mmol, 1.3 eq.) of ethyl 3-cyclobutyl-2-{[(trifluoromethyl)sulphonyl]oxy}propanoate (racemate) were reacted at RT according to General 4E. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (KP-SIL, cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 15-33%). Yield: 140 mg (82% of theory)
