A mixture of 4-acetylbenzonitrile (51.84 g, 0.357 mol) and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (142 ml, 1.07 mol) was heated to reflux for 1.5 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and the resultant crystalline mass collected by filtration and washed with diethyl ether (4×100 ml) to give 1-(4-cyanophenyl)-3-dimethylaminopropen-1-one as an orange solid (44.56 g). An additional crop of this product (11.40 g) could be obtained by partially concentrating the filtrate. δH (d6DMSO) 8.01 (2H, d, J 8.2 Hz), 7.87 (2H, d, J 8.2 Hz), 7.75 (1H, d, J 12.2 Hz), 5.83 (1H, d, J 12.2 Hz), 3.15 (3H, bs), 2.92 (3H, bs). MS (ESI) 201 (MH+, 100%).
