Procedure

To a mixture of methyl acetoacetate (23.2 g, 0.2 mol) in water (15 mL) at 10° C. was added dropwise methylamine (40% aqueous solution, 18.6 g, 0.24 mol). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. The resulting solid precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with ice water (2×), and then dried in a vacuum oven at 55° C. overnight to provide the title compound as a white solid (20.9 g).
