Reaction Steps

In a 2 liter 3-necked flask were combined 129 g (1 mol) di-(n-butyl)amine (Fisher Scientific) and 0.5 l dry toluene and cooled to 5° C. 46 g (0.5 mol) acryloyl chloride dissolved in 50 ml toluene were added slowly so the temperature remained below 10° C. After the addition the flask was warmed to 25° C. and the precipitate removed by filtration. 1 g DNPD was added, and after concentration on a rotary evaporator the product was distilled at 20 torr and 61°-63° C. Yield 77 g (84%).
