Dichloromethane → (E)-3-(3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)acrylic acid hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (5 mL) was added to a solution of (E)-tert-butyl 3-(3-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)acrylate (460 mg, 1.27 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. After concentration to dryness, the residue was suspended in a solution of hydrochloric acid in dioxane 4N (10 mL). The resulting white precipitate was filtered and washed with diethyl ether to give the title compound (470 mg; quantitative).
