Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A round bottom flask was charged with 2-methoxyacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal (2076 μl, 2076 μmol) and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (299 mg, 2076 μmol). The flask was fitted with a reflux condenser and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for 2 h under nitrogen. 5,6-Dimethoxypyridin-3-amine (320 mg, 2076 μmol) was added, and within a minute a solid had precipitated out of solution. The heterogeneous mixture was heated at 100° C. for 10 min. The mixture was cooled to RT and the solids were filtered and washed with hexanes. (E)-5-((5,6-dimethoxypyridin-3-ylimino)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione was isolated as a yellow/orange solid. MS [M+H]=309.
