Procedure

A mixture of 3-aminocrotonitrile (2.0 g, 24 mmol), 2,4-pentanedione (4.9 g, 49 mmol), paraformaldehyde (1.5 g, 49 mmol) and piperidine (12 drops) in ethanol (100 mL) was heated to reflux for 4 hours, cooled and concentrated to dryness. The residue was treated with diethyl ether (150 mL). The solid was collected and washed with ether. The solid was triturated with dichloromethane (2×100 mL). The combined dichloromethane triturations were concentrated to provide 2.5 g of the title compound. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ ppm 1.92 (t, J=1.02 Hz, 3 H), 2.09 (s, 3 H), 2.10 (s, 3 H), 3.20 (s, 2 H), 8.65 (s, 1 H). MS (DCl-NH3) [M+H]+ at 177.
