Procedure

To a solution of ethyl isocyanoacetate (5.0 g) in ethanol (100 mL) is added N,N-dimethyl-formamide dimethyl acetal (6.5 g) dropwise with stirring over 10 minutes. The reaction is stirred for 24 hours and the ethanol is evaporated. The resulting oil is passed through magnesium silicate using 50% ethyl acetate-hexanes as the eluant. The solvents are removed and the resulting oil is crystallized from ethyl acetate-hexanes to yield light yellow needles, 3.0 g.
