Water → HCID 13491011, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

There were added 95.7 ml (870 mmols) of pivalaldehyde to 112.0 grams (864 mmoles) of (S)-valine monomethylamide dissolved in 300 ml of n-pentane. The reaction mixture was boiled at a water separator until the formation of water was ended (4 hours). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and there remained behind 130 grams (76% of theory) of (S)-N-(2',2'-dimethyl-propylidene)-valine monomethylamide, which could be further worked without purification. To ascertain the exact material data, a test of sample was purified by distillation.
