Conditions

Temperature
105 °C

Procedure

5.00 g (33.3 mmol) piperonal (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.), 12.8 g (167 mmol) ammonium acetate (Fluka), and 50 g (670 Mmol) nitroethane, 98% (Aldrich) were combined in a 100 ml round bottom flask equipped with magnetic stirrer and nitrogen inlet. The reaction mixture was heated to 105° C. for 90 minutes and the solvent was removed under vacuum to give a dark yellow liquid which was recrystallized from cold methyl alcohol three times to give a yellow crystalline solid in 40% yield. 1H NMR spectra is shown in FIG. 1.
