Reaction Steps

To an oven-dried round bottom flask was added 1.87 g of a 60% oil dispersion of NaH (46.8 mmol), DMF (50 mL), and methanol (1.89 mL; 46.8 mmol) under a N2 atmosphere. To this suspension was added a solution of 2-cyanoacetamide (1.97 g; 23.4 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) via syringe followed by a solution of the crude product of Step B (21.3 mmol) in DMF (20 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was heated to 95° C. and stirred for 3 hours. The reaction was the quenched with saturated aqueous NaHSO4 solution and extracted with methylene chloride (3×). The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification was done by trituration in ethanol. The precipitate was collected and washed with cold ethanol to afford the desired product: m/e=359 (M+1).
