Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-methoxyphenylacetate (3.3 g) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (3 cm3) treated with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (6 cm3) and heated at 100° C. for 18 h. The reaction was then cooled and evaporated under high vacuum to afford crude methyl-3-dimethylamino-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)propenoate (3.6 g) which was used without further purification. δH (250 MHz; CDCl3); 2.68 (6H, s), 3.62 (3H, s), 3.8 (3H, s), 6.82 (2H, d, J 8.7 Hz), 7.1 (2H, d, J 8.7 Hz) and 7.54 (1H, s).
