Procedure
A mixture of ethyl 2-cyano-3-ethoxybut-2-enoate (194 g theory, 1.06 mol) and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (160 g, 1.325 mol) was stirred at 70° C. for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated under high vacuum to provide crude ethyl 2-cyano-5-(dimethylamino)-3-ethoxypenta-2,4-dienoate. The residue was used directly without further purification.
