Reaction Steps

A solution consisting of 25 g of 2,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (Aldrich) in 200 ml of nitroethane was treated with 0.5 g anhydrous ammonium acetate and held on a steam bath for 12 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo from the mixture yielding 22.3 g of yellow crystals, m.p. 80°-81° C., upon cooling in 50 ml of methanol.
