Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-ethoxycarbonyl cyclopentanone (114 ml, 0.77mol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (40 ml) was added dropwise to a mixture solution of sodium methoxide(83.2 g, 0.44 mol) and N,N-dimethylformamide(80 ml), while maintaining the temperature of the reaction system below 0° C. A solution of guanidine HCl salt(81 g, 0.85 mol) and methanol(127 ml) was added to the above reaction mixture and then was heated to reflux for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was neutralized by conc. HCl and the resulting solid was filtered and dried under reduced pressure to give 20.69 g of titled compound.
