(III). a. A Teflon reactor was charged with a mixture
of 60 mg (0.28 mmol) of amide Ig, 2.1 mg (5 mol %)
of KF–Al2O3, and 5 ml of methanol, and the reactor
was placed into a microwave furnace and irradiated at
a power of 700 W over a period of 15 min (in 2–4-min
pulses followed by cooling to room temperature). The
mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated
under reduced pressure. Yield 43 mg (88%), mp 53–

b. A mixture of 60 mg (0.28 mmol) of amide Ig,
4.9 mg (12 mol %) of KF–Al2O3, 1 ml of methanol,
and 9 ml of acetonitrile was heated for 2 h at 65°C.
The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was evaporat-
ed under reduced pressure to obtain 41 mg (84%) of
compound III as a mixture of E and Z isomers at
a ratio of 1.0:2.0, mp 53–55°C (from hexane).

N-Alkyl-3,3-dimethoxypropanamides IVa and
IVb (general procedure). A mixture of 0.47 mmol of
amide Ic or Ig, 3.4 mg (5 mol %) of KF–Al2O3, and
5 ml of methanol was heated at 65°C for 3 (Ig) or 7 h
(Ic). The mixture was evaporated under reduced pres-
sure, the residue was extracted with hot hexane, and
the extract was filtered and evaporated under reduced
pressure.
