Procedure

2000 mg (16.91 mmol) 2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethanol are dissolved in 160 ml diethylether. 1307 mg (15.38 mmol) cyanoacetic acid, 3489 mg (16.91 mmol) N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 227 mg (1.54 mmol) 4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine are added. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours under an argon atmosphere and kept at room temperature overnight. The suspension is filtered and the filtrate is washed twice with 5% aqueous acetic acid and twice with water. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent is evaporated in vacuo. The residue is re-dissolved in 10 ml hexane and the suspension is filtered over 1 g silica. After evaporation of the solvent, distillation at 0.51 mbar yields the desired product.
