Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-aminocyclohex-2-enone (11.1 g. 0.1m) and 3-amino-2-methylacrolein (8.5 g. 0.1 m) in toluene (15 ml.) was heated at reflux below a Dean and Stark water separator for 48 hours. The solvent was removed and the residual oil distilled at 0.2 mm Hg to give the title compound as a colourless crystalline solid (0.5 g, 4%).
