Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Aminopyridine (5 mmol, 0.5 g), 3-oxo-2-(2-oxo-2-phenyl-ethyl)-butyric acid ethyl ester (5 mmol, 1.2 g) and tosic acid (0.1 g) were combined in ethanol, then heated under reflux. The resulting oil was resuspended in ether, then washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, then the solids were separated and the solvents were removed under vacuum. The named product was purified over silica gel and analyzed by 1H-NMR (CDCl3, ppm): 1.35 t (3H), 2.40 s (3H), 4.3 q (2H), 6.78 s (1H), 7.03-7.39 m (7H), 8.4 sd (1H), and about 8.6 dd (1H).
