Procedure

To a solution of ethyl 3-chloro-3-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)-2-cyanoacrylate (0.3 g, 1.10 mmol, 1 eq.) in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added propylamine (0.131 g, 2.21 mmol, 2 eq.) at room temperature. After being stirred for 8 h at 80° C., the mixture was evaporated. The residue was diluted with AcOEt and the precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was evaporated and the residual oil was subjected to column chromatography to give ethyl (2Z)-3-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)-2-cyano-3-(propylamino)acrylate (0.240 g, 74% yield).
