Procedure

In a procedure analogously to 2,2-dimethyl-5-(dimethylaminoethyl-imino)-3-hexanone, starting with starting with 2,4-pentadione (8.00 g, 80.7 mmol), Na2SO4 (14 g, 98.64 mmol), and 3-(dimethylamino)ethylamine (7.83 g, 88.8 mmol). A green liquid was obtained via vacuum distillation at an oil bath of 95-105° C. under 150 mTorr. The yield was 83%. GC analysis indicated one peak.
