Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of intermediate (5a), (E)-4-[1-amino-eth-(Z)-ylidene]-pent-2-enedioic acid diethyl ester (51 g, 225 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (250 mL) was heated at 175° C. for 24 hours to give a dark brown solution. The resulting solution was allowed to cool and a pale brown precipitate slowly formed. The precipitate was removed by filtration and the solids washed with dichloromethane (75 mL) and hexane (100 mL) to give a pale yellow powder. The solids were dried in vacuo (60° C.) to give the title compound as a pale yellow powder, 14.45 g (36%)
