Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of acetoacetonitrile (41 g, 493 mmol), t-butoxybis(dimethyl amino)methane (86 g, 493 mmol) and DMF-DMA (263 mL, 1.97 mol) was heated at 100° C. overnight and evaporated to remove the volatiles. The residue was triturated with hexanes/ether (1:1) and the solids were collected by filtration and washed with hexanes/ether (1:1) and a minimum amount of EtOAc to give 64.3 g (67%) of 5-(dimethylamino)-2-[(dimethylamino)methylene]-3-oxopent-4-enenitrile as a light yellow solid, which was used for the next step without further purification.
