Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Benzyl(methoxymethyl)[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]amine (10.78 mL, 42.12 mmol) and ethyl but-2-ynoate (5.89 mL, 50.54 mmol) were stirred in DCM (500 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen, then trifluoroacetic acid (161 μL, 2.11 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes, then the ice bath was removed and the solution was allowed to warm to room temperature. The solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was concentrated and purified by FCC, eluting with 0-70% EtOAc in heptane, to afford the title compound (2.76 g, 27%). δH (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) 7.38-7.32 (m, 4H), 7.30-7.23 (m, 1H), 4.13 (q, J 7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.75 (s, 2H), 3.60-3.51 (m, 4H), 2.05 (s, 3H), 1.22 (t, J 7.1 Hz, 3H).
