Abstract
Initially, we attempted to prepare acrylate 1 by the reaction of acetamide with methyl pyruvate in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) under reflux conditions in toluene (Dean-Stark). The yields were consistently lower than 50%, presumably due to acrylate polymerization; however, addition of 4-methoxyphenol (0.1%) significantly improved the yield and acrylate 1 was then obtained with 61% yield (Scheme [2] ). ... Scheme 2 Reagents ...
