Procedure
100 g of 3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzaldehyde and 44 g of α-cyano-acetamide were dissolved in 300 cc of dry pyridine at 50°. To this solution 10 cc of piperidine were added and the mixture was heated at 50° with stirring for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled at room temperature, filtered off and the precipitate was washed on the filter with 50 cc of cold isopropanol. The product was dried at 80° to yield 123.6 g (92.5%) of α-cyano-3,4,5-trimethoxy-cinnamamide; m.p. 192°-194°. This product was used for the hydrogenation step without further purification. A pure sample, recrystallized from isopropanol, melted at 193°-195°.
