Reaction Steps

A mixture of 40 g of potassium carbonate, 0.380 g of couronne 18 crown 6 ether catalyst and 39.9 g of chloromethylpropene was added to a solution of 30 g of ethyl formamidomalonate in 300 ml of acetonitrile and the mixture was refluxed for 3 hours and was filtered. The mixture was evaporated to dryness, cooled to 0° to -5° C. and was taken up in 10 ml of isopropyl ether.
