Reaction Steps

N-Isopropyl-3-oxo-N-[4-(phenylamino)phenyl]butyramide (30.0 g, 0.0967 mol) and conc. acetic acid (1.4 g, 0.0233 mol) in ethyl acetate (140 g) were introduced into an autoclave. Ammonia (16.0 g, 0.9395 mol) was introduced in the course of 10 minutes and the temp. of the reaction mixture was increased to 35° C. during this period. After the introduction a pressure of 14 bar is present. The temperature of the reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. in the course of 30 min. In the course of this, the pressure rose to 17 bar. After 2.5 h under these conditions, the reaction mixture was cooled to 25° C. and ammonia was released. The reaction mixture was further cooled to 5° C. in order to crystallize the product. The suspension was filtered. The pale grey solid was washed with cold (0° C.) ethyl acetate (20 ml) and dried in vacuo (50 mbar) at 35° C. for 2 days. (Z)-3-Aminobut-2-enoic acid N-isopropyl-N-[4-(phenylamino)phenyl]amide (27.2 g, 91.0%) was obtained.
