Acetic add (1.0 mL) and NH4OAc (2.0 g) were added. The solution was magnetically stirred and heated to reflux with a Dean-Stark trap in place overnight under N2. The reaction was cooled to ambient, diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) washed with H2O (2×50 mL) and brine (25 mL). The organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to give an oil that was distilled (bp. 135°-137° C., 20 mmHg) to give Ethyl α-cyano-α-(4-heptylidene)acetate (16.65 g, 0.080 mole, 80%).
